Transfer a licence
When completing the form, you must:
- Upload a colour image of the front of your DVLA photocard
- Pay the required fee by card
You will be contacted within 10 working days by email to attend a Hackney Boundaries Test.
By applying for a driver licence, you are providing consent for an online DVLA record check to be undertaken by the Council.
Receiving your new licence and badges
Once the application including all required documents is processed and you have completed the Hackney Boundaries Test, a new licence document will be issued as a pdf via email. Your declared private hire operator, if they accept via email, will also receive a copy of the licence. The email will contain instructions for collecting your badges.
