Hackney carriage and private hire driver's licence

National Register of Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Driver Revocations (NR3) 

The Government have introduced a national register of hackney carriage and private hire driver cancellations and refusals (called NR3). All applicants will have their details checked on the NR3 Register. This is to check if you have previously had a licence either refused or revoked by another local authority. If your application to us is refused or revoked, we will add your details to the NR3 register.
