Before you apply
Are you eligible for a London PCO Licence?
TfL sets five requirements before your application can be accepted. Check them here first — it takes a minute and saves weeks of avoidable delay.
Driving licence
Held 3+ yearsA full DVLA, Northern Ireland or EEA licence held for at least three years. International holders may need to exchange theirs first.
Right to work
UK eligibleYou need the legal right to live and work in the UK. We verify your passport or share code as part of the application package.
Background check
Enhanced DBSTfL requires you to be of “good character”. We guide you through the Enhanced DBS check and Update Service registration.
Medical
DVLA Group 2The same standard as HGV drivers, certified by a GP on form TPH204. We arrange and check this before submission.
Tick all five? You’re ready to apply.
Not sure about one of them — especially DBS or medical? Talk to a trainer before you spend anything.
The full pathway
Your journey to a PCO licence
Six stages from first medical to licence in hand. Here’s exactly what happens at each one — and what we take care of for you.
1
Get your medical
Download the TPH204 form, complete your GP medical against DVLA Group 2 standards, and make sure eyesight details are recorded correctly.
We check your records are complete before submission
2
Tax check & DVLA code
Generate your DVLA check code and complete the HMRC tax check where it applies to your licence pathway.
We walk you through both, step by step3
Enhanced DBS
Complete your enhanced DBS check and register for the Update Service within the required window to avoid processing delays.
DBS support plus Update Service reminders
4
TfL submission
Upload and submit your complete application through the TfL portal, with every record in the format they expect.
Document-by-document review before you submit
5
Sit your assessments
Three separate assessments, all on the same day at the same TfL centre. You need 60% to pass each, and you must pass all three.
- Topographical · map reading & route planning
- SERU · based on the Private Hire Drivers Handbook
- Speaking & Listening · 15 minutes, by video call
Each assessment costs £40 for your first attempt and £30 per resit. You get 3 attempts at each — fail all three and you must restart your licence application.
We prepare you for all three, with unlimited mock practice
6
Licence issued
Once your checks and results clear, TfL issues your Private Hire licence and badge, delivered to you by post.
We stay on hand if TfL asks for anything further
One clarification: all three official assessments are booked and sat at a TfL centre on a single day, each with a 60% pass mark. We provide preparation and realistic mock environments — not the official test sitting itself.
