What three certificates are required to drive a taxi?
2 Answers
The documents required to drive a taxi include ID card, driver's license, professional qualification certificate, internal work permit, service supervision card, and local permanent residence registration or residence permit. Below are detailed steps for obtaining a taxi driver's professional qualification certificate: 1. Application: After completing training at a qualified institution, apply for the taxi driver's professional qualification certificate from the relevant authorities. 2. Vocational training and exam registration: Complete the required training content and hours. Submit the application to the relevant authorities. The municipal transportation management office reviews the application form and issues an exam admission ticket to eligible candidates. 3. Take the professional driver qualification exam: Use the exam admission ticket and ID card to participate in the theoretical and practical exams organized by the municipal transportation management authority.
The three required certificates for driving a taxi, let me tell you: driver's license, taxi driver's professional qualification certificate, and vehicle operating license. This is from experience—I've been driving for ten years, and you can't do without any of these three. The driver's license must be at least C1 level with three years of driving experience; new drivers definitely can't qualify. The qualification certificate requires training and exams from the Road Transport Administration, testing geographic knowledge and service standards—even us veteran drivers have to undergo regular reviews. The operating license is like the car's ID, proving it can legally carry passengers. Last week at the train station, I saw a young guy fined 5,000 yuan for missing an operating license—that's too big a risk. Also, nowadays many cities require a ride-hailing platform registration certificate. Although it's not counted among the three main certificates, you still need it to accept orders and earn money.
