Important information
If you want to use a vehicle as a Taxi/Private Hire, you must have a driver's badge before applying for a vehicle licence or booking an MOT. This will help you avoid extra costs.
Please do not create a “My Account”. Badge and plate applications are not managed through the My Account portal.
Knowsley Council's Licensing Service will be closed to the public from 23 Dec 25, re-opening on 5 Jan 26.
Please note that the Council cannot guarantee that any application received after Friday 12 Dec 25 will be processed before this closure. In any case we would always recommend submitting your documentation at least 2 working days before the date of your vehicle test.
