What the extract is
A taxi passenger transport licence is held by a company — for example a fleet partner. The licence extract is a document confirming that a specific car is assigned to that licence and meets taxi requirements. Every car driving in the apps needs its own extract.
Why you need it
- Without an extract, the car can’t legally carry paying passengers.
- Uber and Bolt require a photo of the extract among the car’s documents in the app.
- You must have it in the car during inspections — see taxi inspections.
Who applies
The licence holder — the fleet partner — applies to the office that issued the licence. The driver or car owner gives the partner the documents.
Documents needed
- The registration certificate with the taxi inspection entry.
- Proof of the right to use the car — e.g. the registration certificate or a leasing agreement.
- The driver’s medical and psychological certificates.
- A criminal record certificate no older than 30 days.
How long it takes
The office should issue the extract within 30 days of receiving a complete set of documents. In practice it’s often quicker. Once it’s ready, a photo of it is added to the car’s documents in the app.
