Taxis - Right to Work - Home Office Guidance

The Home Office have now published updated guidance around the right to work for taxi drivers for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

This guidance is for licensing authority officers responsible for the issue, renewal, suspension and revocation of private hire and taxi driver licences and operator licences (called booking office licences in Scotland). The guidance reflects updates to immigration rules and follows the end of transition periods following Brexit.

The guides include information on:

• who is disqualified from holding a licence
• how and when to conduct right to a licence checks
• acceptable documents for these checks
• how to provide information to the Home Office
