Goods Vehicle Licensing: Regulation

Topics:

The Department for Infrastructure’s Transport Regulation Unit (TRU) is responsible for issuing Goods Vehicle Operator licences in Northern Ireland. Its function is to ensure that only safe and reliable operators of goods vehicles are permitted to be licensed.

TRU may also take regulatory action against an operator for non-compliance with the requirements of the law or with licence conditions or undertakings. This may be in the form of curtailment or suspension of an operator’s licence and, in serious cases of non-compliance, the revocation of a licence and disqualification from holding one.

Practice Guidance and Instruction Documents

The Practice Guidance Documents explain the legal basis for, and the way the Department will approach, the exercise of its statutory functions. These are designed to explain how the legislation impacts goods vehicle operators and provided advice to those applicants and operators who are regulated by the Department
