Taxi licensing office

The Taxi Licensing Office is located at:

Block A
The Killingworth site
Harvey Combe
Killingworth
NE12 6QQ

There will be no general access to the Taxi Licensing Office.  Access to the office continues to be by appointment or invitation only. We are reviewing this arrangement and this page will be updated when this review has concluded.

Any enquiries should be submitted by email to taxi.licensing@northtyneside.gov.uk 

Alternatively, you can also contact the team on telephone number (0191) 643 2165.

Drivers, vehicle proprietors and operators wishing to renew their licence should not visit the Licensing Office without an appointment. Reminders are sent out approximately six weeks before the expiry of licences but please note that it remains your responsibility to renew a licence. Applications and scanned documents or photographs are to be e-mailed to us and payment must be made by debit/credit card over the telephone. Where a DBS check is required, original documents must be examined by officers so please make an appointment to visit the licensing office to do this.

Any renewal applications must be made before the expiry of the current licence and will only be considered valid when the licence fee has been paid.  Currently payments can only be made between the hours of 9.30 and 16.00.
