Licensing renewals

Existing licence holders who wish to renew their licence must do so by the expiry date of their existing licence. The Licensing Authority will notify licence holders one month prior to the expiry date of their licence, but the ultimate responsibility for submitting a renewal application remains that of the licence holder.

Renewal applications will only need to be supported by the documents listed above, but where the vehicle's insurance or compliance certificate expire the licence will be suspended until such time as the council receives updated documents. Failure to renew by the expiry date will result in the licence expiring and you will be required to submit a new application and comply with the requirements of a new application.
