• Right to work - The Immigration Act 2016 requires you to show us your original documents that demonstrate you have the right to work in the UK e.g. your passport or biometric card if you are a individual or partnership. We need to check your immigration status once after 1 December 2016.  If you have already shown us the original document after 1.12.16 for this or another licence you hold with us, e.g. driver licence, please confirm this in writing to us. If you are operating as a partnership and any partner changes it is your responsibility to inform Reigate & Banstead BC and a new right to work check may be required for the new partner.  
• When submitting this application you are required to declare all convictions and cautions you may have. You should be aware that the Council, as Licensing Authority, is empowered in law to check for the existence and content of any criminal record held in your name. Information received will be kept in strict confidence, will only be taken into account in relation to your application and will be retained for no longer than is necessary. 
• The disclosure of a criminal record or other information will not debar you from gaining a licence unless we consider that the conviction renders you unsuitable. In making this decision we will consider the nature of the offence, how long ago and what age you were when it was committed and any other factors which may be relevant. If you are refused a driving licence on the ground that you are not a fit and proper person to hold such a licence you have a right of appeal to the Magistrates’ Court.
