Transfer your vehicle licence

If you have sold your vehicle, you can transfer the licence. You should complete a transfer application form and give the paper licence to the new owner.

Check the cost of transferring a vehicle licence: taxi licensing fees and charges.

The new owner must email taxis@southglos.gov.uk to arrange an appointment with us.

Documents to bring to the appointment:

• new insurance certificate
• new keeper slip or log book
• receipt for the purchase in the new owner’s name
• paper vehicle licence to hand in

These must be the original documents.

The previous owner is not required to attend the appointment if the transfer application form has been completed and the paper licence given to the new owner to hand in.
