Taxi driver medical in King's Lynn and West Norfolk

Which doctor King's Lynn and West Norfolk will accept, how often you have to repeat it and which form they want. Councils disagree with each other on every one of those, so this is King's Lynn and West Norfolk’s answer and nobody else’s.

Who can carry it out

The council does not say

Nothing published says who may carry it out, and this is not a safe thing to assume. Ring them before you book and pay, because the councils either side of them may well have opposite rules.

What King's Lynn and West Norfolk requires

“Once your licence is granted, you'll need to provide a new medical report: at the age of 45 every five years from your 45th birthday once a year from the age of 65”
How often: With your first application, then at 45, then every five years from your 45th birthday, then once a year from 65
Form: The council's own prescribed BCKLWN Medical report form - a general 'medical report' from a doctor on any other form is not what they ask for
