Personal licences

We will only issue personal licences to people who live within the Elmbridge area. If you work in our area but live elsewhere, you’ll need to apply to your local council.

To apply you’ll need:

• a basic criminal background check (DBS) which is less than a month old at the time of the application
• details of any relevant convictions you have
• a level 2 award for personal licence holders
• documents showing you have the right to work in the UK
• two recent colour identical passport sized photos - you should get one signed on the back by a professional with the wording: "I can confirm that this photo is a true likeness of [applicant’s name]"

Download and complete the application form and the disclosure of convictions declaration form:

You will need to submit your completed form, self-declaration, required documents and pay the correct fee. For more information see fees and charges.
