High Peak asks for a few standard ID, qualification, and background-check documents, but the exact list depends on what you’re applying for. Here’s the current set of requirements shown in published council information:
Application Documents / information needed Personal licence Two passport photographs, with one signed to verify likeness; proof of licensing qualification; proof of right to work in the UK or a Home Office share code; a basic disclosure check; and, for criminal record checks, one of: criminal conviction certificate, criminal record certificate, or subject access search result from the Police National Computer. Private Hire Operator Completed operator application form; business plan; copy of door stickers; employer liability insurance; public liability insurance of at least £2,000,000 if there is public access; proof of planning permission if required; schedule of vehicles; proof of a maintenance contract with an approved garage if servicing isn’t done by you or staff; insurance for vehicles and drivers; Basic or Enhanced DBS check within the last 3 months; statutory declaration of convictions/cautions/pending prosecutions; EEA/UK passport or Home Office right to work/share code; both sides of EEA/UK photocard driving licence; and a bank/building society statement or utility bill within 3 months showing current name and address. Driver’s licence Completed and signed application form; completed driver medical form; fee payment; a passport-style colour photograph; proof of current residential address in the UK; proof of right to work; original DBS certificate linked to the DBS update service; and a safeguarding course certificate. A couple of things to watch: for the personal licence, the criminal record document must be dated no later than one calendar month before the application, and for the driver medical form it must be dated within 3 months of the application. If you want, I can also pull together the exact online steps and contact details for the relevant application.
