Download the official Driver & Vehicle Agency Taxi Inspection Manual for Northern Ireland.
The manual sets out the standards used when vehicles are inspected for taxi licensing and covers areas including construction, body condition, seating, passenger capacity, taximeters and wheelchair accessibility.
It is useful for taxi owners, operators, drivers, vehicle converters and anyone preparing a vehicle for taxi licensing.
This is a reference manual rather than an application form. Use the relevant sections for the taxi class and vehicle being presented.
Check the vehicle against the inspection requirements before presenting it for licensing or annual inspection.
Different taxi classes and vehicle circumstances can have different requirements, so use the sections relevant to your vehicle.
Check the instructions contained within the PDF before submitting an application, particularly where fees, supporting evidence or postal details are involved.
