It is advisable that all applicants read the notes, and if you require any further information, please contact the Hackney Carriage Office on the following telephone numbers: -\nTelephone numbers: (01472) 326299\ne -mail address:  \u0013 HYPERLINK \"mailto:licensing@nelincs.gov.uk\" \u0014licensing@nelincs.gov.uk\u0015\nThis authority is under a duty to protect the public funds it administers, and to this end may use the information you have provided for the prevention and detection of fraud. It may also share this information with other bodies responsible for auditing or administering public funds for these purposes.\nFor further information, visit \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.nelincs.gov.uk/council-and-democracy/council-budgets-and-spending/national-fraud-initiative/\" \u0014www.nelincs.gov.uk/council-and-democracy/council-budgets-and-spending/national-fraud-initiative/\u0015\nYour right to work in the UK will be checked as part of your licensing application, this could include the licensing authority checking your immigration status with the Home Office. You must therefore provide a document, or document combination that is stipulated as being suitable for this check. The document(s) will be copied and the copy retained by the licensing authority.\nIf there are restrictions on the length of time you may work in the UK, your licence will not be issued for any longer than this period.\nNational Register of Taxi Licence Revocations and Refusals\nThe licensing authority provides information to the National Register of Taxi Licence, Refusals, Revocations and Suspensions (NR3), a mechanism for licensing authorities to share details of individuals who have had a hackney carriage or Private Hire Vehicle (PHV) licence revoked, suspended, or an application for one refused. This is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the licensing authority – that is, assessing whether an individual is a fit and proper person to hold a hackney carriage or PHV licence.\nTherefore:\n Where a hackney carriage/ PHV licence is suspended, revoked, or an application for one refused, the authority will automatically record this decision on NR3.\n All applications for a new licence or licence renewal will automatically be checked on NR3. If a search of NR3 indicates a match with an applicant, the authority will seek further information about the entry on the register from the authority which recorded it. Any information received as a result of an NR3 search will only be used in respect of the specific licence application and will not be retained beyond the determination of that application. Information will be retained on NR3 for a period of 25 years.\nThis is a mandatory part of applying for a hackney carriage / PHV driver licence. The authority has a published policy on the approach it will take to requests by other authorities for further information about entries on NR3, and about the use it will make of any further information provided to it. You can read that policy at https://www.nelincs.gov.uk/licensing/\nInformation will be processed in accordance with the Data Protection Act (DPA) and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Any searches, provision, or receipt of information of or under NR3 are necessary to the authority’s statutory licensing functions of ensuring that all drivers are fit and proper to hold the applicable licence. It is not intended that any NR3 data will be transferred out of the United Kingdom.\nIf you wish to raise any issue related to the data protection legislation, including by relying","cbCailwtMQDSmWD7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailwtMQDSmWD7","docx",63872,10,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Information use and fraud prevention\n## Right to work checks and document requirements\n## NR3 register of taxi licence decisions\n## Data protection and GDPR\n# Criteria\n## Fit and proper suitability\n## Required courses, checks, and documents\n## Fees and non-refundable application costs\n# Application Procedure\n## Step 1: appointments and payment methods","[{\"question\":\"What is the NR3 register and how is it used in taxi licensing decisions?\",\"answer\":\"The licensing authority records and checks suspensions, revocations, refusals, and renewals via the National Register of Taxi Licence Revocations and Refusals (NR3).
