  • National Register of Taxi Licence Refusals and Revocations (NR3)

  • The licensing authority provides information to the National Register of Taxi Licence Refusals and Revocations (NR3), a mechanism for licensing authorities to share details of individuals who have a hackney carriage or private hire drivers licence revoked or on application one refuse. This is necessary for the performance of the task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the licensing authority - that is, assessing whether an individual is a fit and proper person to hold a hackney carriage or PHV drivers licence.

    Therefore:

    • Where a hackney carriage, private hire or joint drivers licence is revoked, or on application refused, the authority will automatically record their decision on NR3
    • All applications for a new licence or a licence renewal will automatically be checked on NR3. If a search of NR3 indicates a match with an applicant, the authority will seek further information about the entry on the register from the authority which recorded it. Any information received as a result of an NR3 search will only be used in respect of the specific licence application and will not be retained beyond the determination of that application.

    The information recorded on NR3 itself will be limited to:

    • name
    • date of birth
    • address and contact details
    • national insurance number
    • driving licence number
    • decision taken
    • date of decision
    • date the decision is effective

    Information will be retained on NR3 for a period of 25 years

    This is a mandatory part of applying for/being granted a hackney carriage, private hire or joint drivers licence. The authority has a published approach it will take to requests by other authorities for further information about entries on NR3, and about the use it will make of any further information provided to it. You can read that policy at www.hyndburnbc.gov.uk/download-package/national-register-of-hackney-carriage-and-private-hire-driver-revoctions-nr3-policy/

    Information will be processed in accordance with the Data Protection Act (DPA) and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Any searches, provision or receipt of information of or under NR3 are necessary to the authorities statutory licensing functions of ensuring that all drivers are fit and proper to hold the applicable licence. It is not intended that NR3 data will be transferred out of the United Kingdom.
