To assist you at this very challenging time, NTA has extended the Final Operation Date of your SPSV by one year.
Having regard to the Covid-19 pandemic, this extension has been granted following the introduction of the temporary exceptional legal provision, the Small Public Service Vehicle (Emergency Measure COVID-19) Regulations 2020.
This extension allows your current vehicle, as above, to operate as an SPSV for one additional year. The Taxi Regulation Act 2013 and 2016, and all associated regulations, orders and codes remain unchanged.
Expired Vehicle Licences
A vehicle licence can be reactivated up to one year from its expiry date. There is no possibility to extend this date. Once a vehicle reaches its final operation date, the licence holder may not apply to NTA for the renewal of a vehicle licence on that vehicle.
Yours sincerely,
National Transport Authority
