About this medical

The taxi medical confirms a private hire or hackney carriage driver meets the DVLA Group 2 medical standard required by their local council. Requirements vary by authority - many use the council's own form and some require your own GP.

Eligibility

Who needs it?

Private hire (PHV) and hackney carriage (taxi) drivers applying for or renewing a council licence.

Frequently asked questions

No. Over 300 UK licensing authorities have different forms, rules and renewal frequencies. Use our council lookup to confirm yours.

Most councils require renewal every 3-5 years, and annually after age 65.

Some councils accept the DVLA D4; others require their own form. Always check your council's requirements first.
