Taken from wrexham.gov.uk. Checked 31 Jul 2026 (fee doesn't include Knowledge Test/DBS/DVLA checks, paid separately via TaxiPlus — a ~20% fee rise was proposed to committee in May 2026, worth rechecking if that's since been adopted). 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.
