Note 9. PREVIOUS CONVICTIONS
You MUST use the table in the application form to declare your unspent previous convictions.
This means you must declare:
convictions at a court
cautions
motoring offences
fixed penalties, and
any offences revealed on your driver’s licence or any other documents.
In the last part of this section tell us:
if you are being Investigated, or
if you have been charged or summoned for any offence.
Note 10. OUR RELEVANT CONVICTIONS POLICY
The information you give us in Section 2 (and Section 3 if two applicants) of the application
form and the results of the Basic Disclosure checks are treated confidentially. We don’t keep
the information any longer than is necessary.
The disclosure of a criminal record or other information will only stop you from getting an
operator’s licence IF the offence means it is not appropriate for you to operate vehicles for
hire and reward. We look at:
the nature of the offence
how long ago the offence was committed
how old you were at the time, and
any other factors which may be relevant.
We (the Licensing Authority) may:
refer to the guidelines which we have to follow, and/or
refer you to the Licensing Applications Committee:
 this is normally held each month, and
 we will tell you beforehand.
To see our full criminal convictions policy:
see our website:
, or
ring 0118 937 3762, choose option 1 and ask us to send you a copy.
If you want to discuss what effect a conviction or pending prosecution might have on your
application you can telephone us on: 0118 937 3762, choose option 1.
If it is decided we cannot issue a licence, you may be entitled to a refund of part of your
application fee. See Note 15 for our refund policy.
