YVerrdi Transport Consultancy offers a fixed-price service for a professional Operator's Licence application. This service is designed to handle the meticulous and time-consuming process of applying for a licence, ensuring accuracy and helping to prevent costly delays.

The Application Process

The Operator's Licence application is a detailed process that can be complex. The type of licence needed (Restricted, National, or International) depends on the business's intended operations. The Traffic Commissioner requires applicants to meet specific legal and procedural requirements, including:

  • Financial Standing: Demonstrating sufficient financial resources to maintain vehicles and the business.

  • Good Repute: Proving that the business owner, directors, and Transport Manager (for Standard licences) have no serious criminal convictions or a history of non-compliance.

  • Professional Competence: For Standard licences, a qualified Transport Manager with a Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) must be named on the application.

  • Operating Centres: A suitable location where vehicles will be parked and maintained.

Failure to provide accurate and complete documentation can lead to significant delays or the refusal of an application.

How Verrdi Assists

Verrdi's service is designed to streamline this process. Following an initial consultation, they provide a fixed-price service tailored to the client's specific needs and the scope of their planned operation. This includes:

  • Application Guidance: Helping to identify the correct licence type and navigating the online application portal (VOL).

  • Documentation Support: Assisting in the compilation of all necessary documents, such as financial evidence, maintenance arrangements, and proof of an operating centre.

  • Preventing Delays: Ensuring the application is comprehensive and submitted correctly the first time to help get the fleet on the road faster.
