TfL Taxi and Private Hire Medical
Applying for a taxi or private hire licence in London is not only a matter of filling in the forms. You also need to satisfy Transport for London’s requirements to be a fit and proper person to drive a taxi. A driver medical is a way to ensure that you are roadworthy and can carry passengers safely.
At the Driver Medical Test, we make the process straightforward. Every assessment is carried out by a GMC-registered doctor with experience in driver medicals. Your doctor will perform the necessary tests and complete your TPH/204 Medical Form so you can renew your licence without hassle
Who Needs a TfL Taxi Medical?
You may need a medical if you are:
- Applying for your first London taxi licence
- Applying for a private hire (PCO) licence
- Renewing your existing TfL licence when requested
- Returning to professional driving after a medical condition
- Asked by TfL to provide an updated medical assessment
The exact medical requirements and licensing guidance are available on the official Transport for London (TfL) website, where you can find the latest information for taxi and private hire driver applications.
If you have received a request from TfL to attend a medical assessment, you should attend if possible. Make arrangements to attend the assessment as soon as possible so that your application can be processed without delay
Apply for a Private Hire Driver Licence
To apply for a private hire driver licence in London, you must meet the licensing requirements set by TfL. This may include completing a TfL private hire medical and submitting a completed TfL Medical Form.
At the Driver Medical Test, our GMC-registered doctors provide professional medical tests and complete your medical paperwork. We offer same-day appointments to help you complete your medical quickly and keep your licence application on track.

Medical Records for Your Medical
You need to bring your full medical records from your GP to your TfL PCO Taxi medical.
