Taxi and Minicab Licence Plates and Driver Identification Badges

Licence plates and driver ID badges will vary from borough to borough but, if issued in Elmbridge then they will be blue for taxis and red for minicabs.

Example Licence Plates

The vehicle plates will show the car registration and the licence number:

Driver Identification (ID) Badges

The driver ID badges will show, amongst other things, a photo, a name and an expiry date. Drivers are not permitted to work without their ID badges so there should always be one available for you to see.
