How do I get a Chauffeur’s License?

NEW 2010 Information:
From Jan. 1- Feb. 4, 2010 we will process applications on Monday-Friday between the hours of 8:00am and 2:00pm. Beginning Feb 9, 2010 we will process applications on Tuesday and Thursdays between the hours of 8am-3pm.

Due to staffing changes in the Traffic Office, the Taxi Cab inspections are held once a week on Tuesday afternoons from 1400-1600 hours. They no longer have inspections 4 times per week (Tuesdays and Thursdays-morning and afternoon) as in the past. Please note this change.
