However, this requirement was removed in an amendment made on 18 September last year. Until then, applicants had been required to submit documentation proving the vehicle’s registration with a taxi centre when applying for a licence.
The latest amendment, made on 17 September this year, has reinstated the condition.
Under the revised regulations, vehicles seeking a taxi licence must meet roadworthiness standards, be covered by third-party insurance, and pay an annual fee in order to receive approval.
