How to renew your taxi driver’s licence

When can I renew?

A licence can be renewed in the month before the expiry date and 30 days after expiry. For example, if the expiry date is April 28, the first day of renewal is March 1 and last day is May 28. However, if your licence is expired you may not drive a taxi or limousine during this period. It is an offence to drive a taxi and/or limousine with an expired taxi driver’s licence.

If a taxi driver’s licence is not renewed within 30 days of its expiry date, the licence is deemed abandoned and the licence file is closed.
