O License Application ..

Hi all,

Im in the process of applying for my O license and so far it seems to be okay …

Today I received a letter in the post with an online code so I can track the progress of the application.

On the website it says the following :

Outstanding actions required to complete the application
Awaiting answers to all questions on application.
Safety Inspection Sheet not received.
Vehicle list/ Certificate of Intitial Fitness not received.

Are these things to be worried about ? I havent heard anything from then in writing etc to say I need these things , what should I do and has anyone else had or currently have the same things pending ?

cheers in advance!

I would ring them up and ask. You should certainly have supplied a copy of the safety inspection sheet you intend to use. The questions may be yours to answer as well.

If you don’t have a vehicle yet, it’s difficult to supply a vehicle list. The Certificate of Intitial Fitness is a PSV thing.

You mean for daily checks? Didn’t know that, I’ll send one off with mine. Someone (Wheelnut?) posted a link to a printable daily check sheet, anyone know what it was?

No Harry the safety inspection sheet is the one used for the six weekly examinations.

Thanks, I have GV79 Annex D (Maintenance Contract) to supply, it doesn’t mention anything about supplying an inspection sheet though, I’ll be getting it completed by the workshop on Friday, I presume they will supply me with one of these if I ask?

Yes ring them up. I’ve had a on-going issue with them at the moment about maintenance contracts. As I’m looking at new (ish) vehicles with full R&M, depending on what I buy will determine who does the maintenance. This they can’t get their head around! So I’ve got a ‘contract’ from a local garage with a copy of their inspection sheets used and sent those off which they (VOSA) seem to be happy with, but after all that they’re still saying on-line its still outstanding. When I enquired on the phone the doris said she’d update it some time this week :unamused:

Just tug your forelock and give them anything they want, its just a paperwork exercise to them.

That sound like solid advice.

Absolutely, I’ll be playing them at their game, forms neatly completed, checked and double-checked, separated by paper clips, “professhnial” bum-licking covering letter, sent by recorded delivery in the most expensive envelope I can find.

It’s obvious that the TCs and VOSA like people who can get the paperwork right so I will show them from the moment the application drops onto their mat that I can do paperwork as well as drive a truck.
