Standard International Operators Licence for Road Transport

Hauliers must obtain a Standard International operator's licence in order to carry their own goods or goods for others, for hire or reward, within the UK and on international journeys. This applies to all vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight rating above 3.5 tonnes.


Operators who are issued with international licences will also receive Community Authorisations, which are required for all operations for hire or reward in, or through, European Community countries.


Drivers who transport dangerous goods must hold an International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road - or ADR - training certificate, unless they are transporting small loads. See our guide on driving dangerous goods and special loads abroad.


How to apply for a Standard International operator's licence

Road transport operator licensing laws require all holders of standard operator licences to be professionally competent, or employ someone who is professionally competent. The competent person has to hold a Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) and is called a Road Transport Manager.


Driver CPC

Under a European Union Directive, professional bus, coach and lorry drivers must hold a Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (Driver CPC) in addition to a vocational driving licence. Depending on when you gained your vocational licence, you will get your Driver CPC either through having 'acquired rights', or by passing initial qualification tests. Both new drivers and those with acquired rights must take 35 hours of periodic training every five years if they want to keep their Driver CPC after that period.
