Yorkshire and the Humber · licence fees
What it costs to licence yourself, your vehicle and an operator with Sheffield. Every figure is taken from the council's own published schedule, never from trade press or an estimate.
Charges Sheffield 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 A blank here means they do not publish it, not that it is free, and there may be other charges besides.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 sheffield.gov.uk. Checked 2 Aug 2026. 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 Sheffield will accept: The council does not say.
The ages it repeats at, the form they want and the council’s own source are on the Sheffield taxi driver medical page.
2,851 licensed drivers, 2,599 licensed vehicles and 73 licensed operators, from the Department for Transport's 2024 figures (taxi and PHV statistics, table TAXI0113).
Every figure here is taken from sheffield.gov.uk and checked by hand.
