Documents for obtaining a permit for passenger taxi transportation
The package of documents provided to the Department depends on the legal status of applicants. Entrepreneurs who have registered an individual entrepreneur must present an STS, an individual entrepreneur's certificate and a passport. You will need OGRNIP, TIN and confirmation of the legal right to dispose of the car, if it is not owned, by presenting a rental or leasing agreement. Organizations provide STS for each car, OGRN, TIN, manager’s passport, as well as a rental or leasing agreement.
Attention! Entrepreneurs and companies acting through an official representative should issue a power of attorney, which is certified by a notary.
Individuals are not issued licenses for passenger transportation, so they first need to register an individual entrepreneur. To do this, you will need to provide a passport, fill out form P21001 and indicate SNILS, INN for the production of an electronic stamp.
Businessmen who want to register an LLC to open a taxi fleet and obtain licenses for taxi cars to provide passenger transportation services need the following papers:
- Form P11001;
- The founder’s decision or minutes of the meeting, if the company was founded by several people;
- Charter;
- A letter of guarantee confirming the provision of a legal address if the company does not own real estate;
- Confirmation of payment of state duty;
- Application for choosing the tax regime of the simplified tax system.
How to obtain permission to transport passengers and luggage
Let us remind you that only a registered individual entrepreneur or organization can obtain a taxi permit. You must apply for permission from an authorized government agency (this may be the Ministry of Transport for the region or the Department of Roads and Transport).
A taxi permit is valid only in the territory of the region where it was issued, except in situations where the destination ordered by the passenger is outside this subject of the Russian Federation.
The application and other necessary documents can be submitted through the regional portal of state and municipal services, so you must obtain a password in advance to access the government services website.
A permit to operate a taxi is issued for a period of five years, in contrast to a license for passenger transportation, which is unlimited. As for the issuance fee, it depends on the region. In Moscow, permits are issued free of charge, in St. Petersburg for a nominal fee of 320 rubles.
The law of April 21, 2011 N 69-FZ does not impose any special requirements on transport; it is enough that the car has an orange identification lamp on the roof; color scheme (checkerboard); taximeter. As for the color of the car itself, this also depends on the region. For example, in Moscow there is also a special city law on taxis, which obliges them to have only a yellow body.
An applicant (individual entrepreneur or LLC) wishing to obtain a transportation permit must ensure the maintenance and repair of their vehicles, monitor their condition before leaving for the line, as well as the drivers undergoing a medical examination before the trip. A taxi driver can only be a person who has a total driving experience of at least three years.
The package of documents, in addition to the application itself, includes:
- a copy of the passport of the applicant (entrepreneur or director of an LLC) or his representative;
- copies of registration certificates of vehicles that will be used to transport passengers;
- a copy of the leasing or rental agreement, if the vehicle is not owned by the applicant.
Answers to other questions about obtaining a taxi permit can be obtained on the regional websites of the authorized government agencies themselves. Here, for example, there is all the necessary information on Moscow.

Attention! A driver working as an individual entrepreneur or on behalf of an LLC is required to have the issued permit in his car. If it was issued by the Department, but is not in the taxi, then the driver will be fined 5,000 rubles.
