Replacement vehicles
If you wish to replace your vehicle you should request an application form from the Licensing Office.
Then complete it in full, sign and date it and email it to taxi.licensing@northtyneside.gov.uk along with a copy of your insurance and V5 document or proof of purchase of the vehicle. Should you be unable to produce any required documentation with your application highlight this on your application or in your e-mail to us.
Please remember to include a contact telephone number so that a member of the Licensing Team can contact you to take payment by debit/credit card over the telephone.
When your application is complete, all is in order and your vehicle has passed its test you will be given an appointment to collect your new plate, windscreen disc and if necessary new decals from the Licensing Office. You will receive your new licence by e-mail.
Please remember to return your old licence plate.
If you haven’t already done so, book a test for the vehicle
