Taxi driver medical in Moray

Which doctor Moray 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 Moray’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 Moray requires

“From 1st April 2018 the Council will rely on self-disclosure and, where necessary, GP or other medical professional reports to decide if a driver met Group 2 standards”
How often: There is NO routine medical. Since 1 April 2018 Moray has relied on self-disclosure: if you can certify you have no condition affecting your ability to meet Group 2 standards, you are not referred for a medical at all
Form: No routine form. If you cannot self-certify, you lodge a GP or other medical professional report with your application

What it costs to be licensed in Moray

The medical is one bill among several. See what Moray charges for the driver, vehicle and operator licences, taken from the same published sources.
