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.
