Driver ID Toolkit

Driver IDs are an important safety measure and allow passengers to feel confident that drivers have been appropriately onboarded and are associated with an authorised service provider. 

It is mandatory for a mounting device to be fitted in a taxi providing passenger services and for drivers to display their Driver ID when providing rank and hail services. 

Welcome to the Driver ID toolkit. This toolkit has been developed to help the point to point transport industry deliver clear and consistent communication around Driver IDs.  

It contains print and digital assets which authorised service providers may choose to use to help them communicate these mandatory requirements to drivers.

Social media post copy

Do you provide rank and hail taxi services in NSW?

You must clearly display your Driver ID in a fitted device so that it is clearly visible to passengers.

Displaying your Driver ID helps passengers to feel safe and confident knowing their driver has undergone all relevant safety checks and is working for an authorised service provider. It is also mandatory under the point to point transport law.

Attention all drivers 

Please always display your driver identity document (Driver ID) when providing rank and hail taxi services in NSW. 

Did you know that one of the most frequently issued penalty notices for taxi drivers is for not displaying their Driver ID?  Over the last two years more than 280 penalty notices incurring fines of $300 have been issued. 

While the law requires you to display your Driver ID, it is also an important safety measure that helps our passengers feel secure knowing that:  

 
  • we have checked your eligibility to drive
  • you are driving for an authorised taxi service provider 
The Driver ID must be displayed so that it is clearly visible to all passengers in the vehicle when the taxi is providing rank and hail passenger services. 

Penalty Notices can be issued by the NSW Police or Point to Point Transport Commissioner’s Authorised Officers for not displaying a Driver ID. 
  >For more information on Driver ID requirements, please visit the Point to Point Transport Commissioner website at pointtopoint.nsw.gov.au or call the Industry Contact Centre on 131 727.
