Licensing Questionnaire
Case reference FOI2019/00567
Published 5 July 2019
Request
1) Does your Local Authority issue driver badges / licences (whether for a temporary period / annual / three year) to applicant's who apply to renew their PH / HC Driver Licences without the Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) Enhanced Certificate being produced to you (i.e. the DBS has been applied for by the applicant but awaiting to be returned to them) YES (go to question 2) NO (go to question 1b).
1b) Have you ever issued licences (for any period) in the past without the above Yes (if so when did you stop this?)
2) Does your Local Authority issue on an 'Issue without Prejudice' basis YES NO b) If no, on what basis is this issued?
Response
1)NO
1b) Yes (if so when did you stop this? 2015)
2)NO
Although each case is considered on its merits, we would not normally make a decision to grant an application without prejudice but instead would refuse an application, with the driver potentially being allowed to continue by virtue of s.77.
