Taxi drivers wanting to transport up to 16 passengers will need to apply for two additional licences:

To apply for a PCV licence, you’ll need to order forms D2 and D4 from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). You’ll need to get a doctor to fill in the D4 form for you, which could be either a GP or a private firm for drivers’ medical exams.
