# Passenger transport licence - renewal

## Summary

The passenger transport licence is generally valid for five years, after which it must be renewed.
## Description

From 1 August 2021, the amendments to the Passenger Transport Act will come into force. From this date, a local customer certificate will no longer be required for the authorisation of passenger transport for taxis. Instead of the proof of local knowledge, a certificate of professional competence must be provided for the authorisation of passenger transport for taxis, hire cars and bundled on-demand transport.

* The extension of the passenger transport licence for taxis and cars in scheduled services will continue to be granted for 5 years without the presentation of a certificate of professional competence.
* Proof of specialist knowledge must be provided for the extension of passenger transport for hire cars.
* As the contents of the certificate of professional competence have not yet been determined, the licence to carry passengers for taxis, hire cars and bundled on-demand transport is **issued subject to the resolutory condition** that it **expires** if the holder does not submit the confirmation of proof of professional competence within one year of being commissioned by the body responsible for providing proof of professional competence. The start of the one-year period is based on the date of authorisation.
