BRIDGEND - next certificate session

Followed by the 18th May 2026 and 8th June 2026
Bridgend Taximeter Certificates
All annual licensing renewal applications submitted from the 1st May 2026 for Bridgend County Borough Council now require taximeter certificates. Annual renewals must be accompanied with a new, valid certificate.
How this works
Certificates are only valid for one calendar month (not 4 or 5 weeks) therefore you should get in touch with your preferred and authorised installer to prepare this document BEFORE you apply online.
For instance, if you are applying on the council website on the 1 July 2026, you should attend a certificate session on or after the 1st June and submit this document when you apply.
DHM have been producing certificates for Cardiff and Vale for over 15 years, we know how difficult it can be to obtain these documents as your vehicle has to be physically checked by an authorised installer at a convenient time. Unfortunately we can't attend every one of you individually, therefore every three weeks DHM will attend the same central location for a period of 3 hours, this will allow operators to attend at their convenience around their existing bookings. This location will be near Toyota/Bookers on the Industrial Estate near Toyota in Wildmill, look for our large blue flag!.
Given the broad geography of Bridgend from Pyle to Caerau, Maesteg to Ogmore this is as central and as fair as we can make it. It should take you no more than 30 minutes to reach this location and its only once a year.
You will also be able to have basic repairs or installations carried out during these sessions but it is strongly recommended you book these in prior as certificates will take priority.
What Happens if i cant attend
It is your responsibilty to co-ordinate your licensing application and attend a session that works for you, if you cannot attend a session then simply attend the next and delay your annual renewal by a few days or send the vehicle with an alternative driver if you cant bring it yourself.
Sessions are approximately three weeks apart so you should be able to find a date that meets your needs and your renewal date.
However if you are still unable to attend a session then you can by appointment arrange to meet with DHM individually but this is not recommended unless it is an emergency. As a mobile service our location varies and we may not be available at all times.
Emergency appointments can be made however these may incur higher costs due to the distances and times involved, please do try to attend a scheduled session.
You can also contact an alternative installer, an up to date list of which is available on the Bridgend CBC website.
