Operator licence ("O" Licence) applications, amendments and renewals

In most case an O licence will need to be held by the operator of a goods vehicle used to carry goods for commercial gain.

In order to successfully apply for a licence, applicants must satisfy the Traffic Commissioner that they have met a number of detailed requirements. This will include showing that they:

• Are a fit person to hold a licence;
• Have satisfactory procedures for vehicle maintenance checks;
• Have satisfactory procedures for monitoring drivers’ hours and tachographs and preventing problems such as overloading; and
• Have sufficient financial resources.

The O licence services we offer clients include:

• Applying for or seeking to vary an “O” licence.
• Renewing an “O” licence.
• Providing representation and comprehensive support at a Public Inquiry to review an “O” licence.
• Advising on an appeal against any decision reached by the Traffic Commissioner
