Transport services licensing - Licensing of transport services

30N: Transfer, assignment, or lease of transport service licence prohibited

You could also call this:

“You can't share or give away your transport service licence, except in special cases”

You can’t give your transport service licence to someone else. This means you can’t transfer it, lease it, or assign it to another person.

There is one exception to this rule. If the person who held the licence has died or become permanently mentally incapacitated, someone else can keep the transport service running for up to 6 months. This can be done by the personal representative of the person who died or became incapacitated. It can also be done by someone else who has an arrangement with the personal representative.
