Thank
you for your interest in Red & White Taxi, LLC
You will
need to obtain a
Public
Service
Endorsement on your Connecticut
license in order to
operate a Taxicab in the State of Connecticut. This is also called a
PSL.
If you have a valid PSL or Chauffers License from another state, i.e.
RI or NY and you maintain
your residency in that state then you are all set - it is valid for
Connecticut.
FOR CONNECTICUT LICENSED DRIVERS:
This what you need to
do to acquire
a PSL:
Go to your nearest full service
Connecticut DMV center.
Go to the Inspectors counter (you don't need to get a number ticket).
Ask for a PSL package for "Taxicab".
In that package you will receive:
1. A Physical Form to be filled out by a doctor. Don't forget to have
the doctor
fill out the little Phyical Card also.
2. Fingerprint cards (2) - these can be done at your local Police
station - no charge.
3. A PSL Application Form.
Once you have these items completed, bring them back to the Inspectors
counter at the DMV.
You will need a Money Order for $19.25 made payable to "DMV".
We recommend that you make a copy of everything before you hand in your
application.
They will give you a receipt indicating they have received you
application.
