Section 19 permits

Most not-for-profit organisations that operate a minibus, including schools, require a Section 19 standard permit to operate their minibus legally.

A Section 19 permit entitles you to operate a vehicle constructed or adapted to carry between 9 and 16 passengers (excluding the driver). These permits may be granted to organisations that operate vehicles without a view to profit to transport their members, or people whom the organisation exists to help.

Hampshire based organisations including LEA schools, academies, Council departments (including day centres), some not-for-profit voluntary organisations and community transport schemes can apply for a Section 19 permit online.

If you are not based in Hampshire, you will need to obtain a permit from another designated body. Ensure any lost/faded permit numbers are included within the form and requested for cancellation.
