You must have the appropriate operator's licence to transport goods for commercial purposes in heavy goods vehicles. They are available in three formats:
restricted
standard national
standard international
The standard international licence allows you to carry goods both in the UK and on international journeys. The licence comes into force once the fee has been paid and the licence documents are issued. Providing the annual fee is paid and there are no infringements, the licence lasts indefinitely. Identity discs are also issued and must be displayed in each specified motor vehicle. The identity discs show the:
operator's name
vehicle registration mark
operator's licence number
disc expiry date
type of licence
Operators and hauliers who are issued with international licences also receive European Union (EU) Community Authorisations. A valid, certified blue copy is required for all hire or reward operations in or through EU countries. They have replaced the need for community permits, bilateral permits between member states and permits for transit traffic through the EU. They do not replace permits for travel to or through non-EU countries where these are still required.
The Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) 'Guide for Operators' provides detailed information on all aspects of goods vehicle operator licensing.
VOSA is the authority which deals with operator licensing applications.
