Scotland · licence fees
What it costs to licence yourself, your vehicle and an operator with Aberdeen. Every figure is taken from the council's own published schedule, never from trade press or an estimate.
Charges Aberdeen lists separately from the licence fee itself. Budget for these as well.
Only what this council states. A blank here means they do not publish it, not that it is free, and there may be other charges besides. Check the official schedule before you budget.
Taken from civicaepay.co.uk (Aberdeen City Council payments portal). Checked 31 Jul 2026 (Driver licence validity period not confirmed from any accessible source). Fees change, so confirm with the council before you budget around them. Drivers spot changes before I do, so if something here is wrong please say and I'll check it against the council and fix it.
Who Aberdeen will accept: The council does it themselves.
The ages it repeats at, the form they want and the council’s own source are on the Aberdeen taxi driver medical page.
Every figure here is taken from civicaepay.co.uk (Aberdeen City Council payments portal) and checked by hand.
