The way that you book your Annual Vehicle Test appointment has changed.
From 1 February 2024 you must use an online booking system to book and pay for a test .
Please note that from this date you can no longer book your annual test by contacting the taxi licensing office.
Online bookings are suitable for:
- Private Hire and Hackney carriage vehicles
- Renewal/Annual Tests only
Online booking enables customers to self-serve and creates efficiencies, you will no longer need to contact the Taxi Licensing Team to book over the phone or wait for a call back.
New applications, replacement vehicles and re-tests
Please contact the Taxi Licensing Team (0191) 643 2165 or e-mail Taxi.Licensing@northtyneside.gov.uk
