Vehicle operator licence applications: guidance

When you apply for a vehicle operator licence, you will need to:

• get separate licences for each traffic area you have an operating centre in - check the list to find out which counties, boroughs and districts are covered by each traffic area
• declare any convictions and cautions people involved in your business have - check the list to see what has to be declared
• advertise in a local newspaper where you plan to keep your vehicles (heavy goods vehicle licences only) - your advert must use the wording in the template
