To contact the DBS, please email Private Hire Driver Licence Application (New and Renewals) We recommend applying for a certificate as early as possible and registering for the Update Service, to prevent any delays in future. We are aware that there are delays to the DBS certificate application times. Driver renewals are processing applications within 10 working days and vehicle applications within 15 working days. This is a temporary glitch and only affects new driver applications. Please do not chase your application as this only adds to the problems. We are urgently trying to resolve this issue but the current waiting time is 6 weeks. Due to current staff shortages it is taking longer than anticipated to process new driver applications.
