License for passenger transportation (taxi)

License for passenger transportation (taxi)

Who can obtain a license to transport passengers (taxi)?

Currently, all business entities wishing to engage in profitable activities in the field of service provision are required to obtain a license. A taxi passenger transportation license (hereinafter referred to as a taxi license) is mandatory for domestic and international passenger transportation by passenger motor vehicles and guarantees compliance of the driver and his vehicle with established legislative standards.

A taxi license can be obtained by:

  • firstly, individual entrepreneurs or legal entities of any organizational and legal form, who are registered in Ukraine and have the appropriate type of activity (KVED 49.32).
  • secondly, drivers who have a category “B” license, experience in the field of passenger transportation of at least 3 years and have reached the age of 21, and also plan to register as a business entity.

Support from a specialized lawyer

To obtain a taxi license without any problems, drivers must comply with a number of important requirements regarding their vehicle. In particular, a passenger car (taxi) must be officially registered in accordance with the legislation of Ukraine in the state register (in particular, be entered in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and Individual Entrepreneurs as a means of conducting economic activity), belong to the licensee on the basis of private property rights, or be in his use on the basis of a concluded rental agreement, leasing. The car must also undergo technical inspection to determine its compliance with safety requirements.

Obtaining a taxi license ensures the legality of transportation, increases passenger confidence, and allows the driver to officially engage in this activity without the risk of fines and sanctions.

Documents required to obtain a license

To obtain a taxi license in Ukraine, you must contact the State Service of Ukraine for Transport Safety (Ukrtransbezpeka) and submit the necessary documents, namely:

  1. an application for a license in the form approved by the License Terms;
  2. annexes to the application, including information on the material and technical base, vehicles (owned, rented, etc.), a vehicle registration certificate, special equipment for vehicles (taximeter data), personnel qualifications (for those who plan to open a transport company to offer taxi services to passengers).

A person can submit documents either in person by sending them with a letter of recommendation to the address of Ukrtransbezpeka (its territorial bodies) or online by submitting a request on the “Diya” portal.

Typical reasons for a state agency’s refusal to grant a taxi license

In practice, there are quite frequent cases when a license is denied due to errors on the part of the business entity. Among them:

  • submission of an incomplete or incorrect package of documents (especially those relating to the technical condition of the vehicle);
  • full or partial non-payment of the license fee at the current rate;
  • the presence of a business entity in arrears in taxes, fees and other mandatory payments to the local or state budget.

To avoid cases of refusal on the grounds provided above, it is important to contact specialists for legal assistance. Lawyers can help you, firstly, by providing legal explanations regarding the correct list of documents in your case, the expediency of preparing a particular documentation; secondly, by assisting in checking the presence of tax debts, the correctness of their repayment and other issues regarding tax support; thirdly, by checking the current license fee rates and other points important for the successful completion of the procedure.
