Selling your Hackney Carriage Vehicle
When selling your Hackney Carriage vehicle, the plate and the vehicle must be sold together.
The High Court case, Challenor v Evans 1986 states;
‘The plate belongs to the local authority and cannot be disposed of separately from the vehicle.’
If you decide to sell your vehicle, a change of ownership application must be submitted to the Licensing Department within 7 days of the transfer taking place. The following documents must be produced:
- Hackney Carriage Vehicle – Change of Ownership form which must be completed by both parties
- New Keepers Supplement or Full Log Book
- Insurance certificate or cover note showing Hackney Carriage/Public Hire use
