Essential cookies enable core functionality such as page navigation and access to secure areas. The website cannot function properly without these cookies; they can only be disabled by changing your browser preferences. Third party functions such as Google Search and Analytics will not be enabled.
Performance settings enable you to use the Google Search engine on our website and help us to improve our website by collecting and reporting information on its usage (for example, which of our pages are most frequently visited).
Once you have completed steps 1-5 and the vehicle has been inspected (with a meter run in the case of a hackney carriage) we will be in a position to issue your licence.
Vehicle licences are renewed on 1 May annually, and the necessary paperwork will be issued in March/April annually to enable you to do this.
If the Council refuses to grant/renew or suspends/revokes a vehicle licence you have the right of appeal to the Magistrates Court.
Further information can be obtained by by emailing us on regulatory@fareham.gov.uk or by telephoning on 01329 236100.
