Register<br />
FOR PERSONALISED<br />
TRANSPORT<br />
You can now check the details of current taxi service<br />
licences and limousine licences using the personalised<br />
transport public register. The register also provides<br />
details of booked hire service licences and booking<br />
entity authorisations for the personalised transport<br />
industry in Queensland.<br />
About the register<br />
The register provides information about current<br />
licences and about the vehicle stated in the licence.<br />
Suspended, cancelled, surrendered, or expired<br />
licences will not be displayed.<br />
To perform a search, simply enter either (or both):<br />
the licence number and/or the vehicle registration<br />
number.<br />
For a taxi service licence search, you can also<br />
search by taxi service licence type: conventional or<br />
wheelchair accessible.<br />
Why use the register?<br />
The personalised transport public register can be<br />
used by any member of the public who is interested<br />
in checking the details of current booked hire service<br />
licences, taxi service licences, limousine licences and<br />
booking entity authorisations.<br />
If you’re an authorised booking entity you should<br />
regularly use the register to check the licence details<br />
of your affiliated vehicles are current.<br />
This will help you meet your chain of responsibility<br />
requirements by ensuring you are only allocating work<br />
to appropriately licenced vehicles.<br />
It does not remove the requirement for you to record<br />
and report details of affiliated drivers and vehicles.<br />
Examples of how the register<br />
can be used:<br />
Example 1: Kelly holds a Booking Entity Authorisation<br />
(BEA) which allows her to arrange bookings for taxi<br />
and booked hire services in Queensland. She needs to<br />
check that her fleet of booked hire, taxi and limousine<br />
vehicles are attached to current licences before taking<br />
any bookings. Kelly can search the register by the<br />
vehicle registration numbers to check these details.<br />
Example 2: Steve is a taxi driver and wants to check<br />
that his vehicle is attached to a current taxi service<br />
licence. Steve can search the register using the vehicle<br />
registration number to check this.<br />
Example 3: Michael owns and operates taxi, limousine<br />
and ride-booking vehicles and he wants another<br />
entity to arrange the bookings for him. He can use the<br />
register to check if a booking entity is current.<br />
