All licensing authorities in England are required to:

• add details of any refusal to issue or renew a Taxi or Private Hire driver licence application to the NR3S Register relating to safeguarding or road safety concerns
• record details on the NR3S Register any revocation or suspension of a Taxi or Private Hire driver licence relating to safeguarding or road safety concerns
• search the NR3S Register before issuing or renewing any Taxi or Private Hire driver licence

Where a licence has been refused, revoked or suspended, all licensing authorities in England must record certain required personal information about the applicant / licensed driver on the NR3S database. The information will be retained on the NR3S Register for up to 11 years. Historic decisions may also be added to the register.

The purpose is to assess whether an individual is a fit and proper person to hold a Taxi or Private Hire drivers licence.
