Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the PCO licence application process.

The costs are split into several parts: TfL application fee (£343), Enhanced DBS check (£64.92), Medical examination (approx. £95), TfL assessments (£120), and our application support fee (£175). Additional costs may apply if you require topographical training (£25/hour).

To begin, you must have a full UK Driving Licence held for at least 3 years, a valid passport or right to work document, your National Insurance number, 5 years of address history, and a valid proof of address (bank statement, utility bill, etc.) matching your driving licence.

We will guide you through both processes. The Enhanced DBS must be done online, and we will help you complete the forms. For the medical, we can advise you on booking with your GP or an approved medical provider to complete the TPH/204 declaration.

Our £175 support fee covers full application processing, rigorous document verification to prevent TfL rejections, step-by-step guidance through the entire licensing journey, and ongoing support from our team until your application is successfully submitted to TfL.

The timeframe varies depending on TfL processing times, DBS return speeds, and assessment availability. Typically, it takes between 12 to 16 weeks from start to finish. Using our service helps avoid delays caused by incorrect applications or missing documents.
