​Vehicle For Hire Drivers (VFH) – Apply for ID Badge

Every person who drives a taxi cab, limousine, shuttle, jitney or para-transit vehicle for hire in Palm Beach County is required to conspicuously display a badge that looks like this while working. This badge shows passengers who the driver is and means the driver has passed both a criminal and driving background check. Passengers have a right to examine the I.D. Badge. 

The Division of Consumer Affairs is responsible for processing applications for persons required to obtain a VFH ID Badge. 
Persons required to obtain a VFH ID Badge should do so using the online portal linked below.  The portal can accommodate
new and renewal applications and replacement requests.  The portal allows applicants to submit a complete application including required forms, and payment of fees.

The portal works best with a desktop or laptop computer with Google Chrome as the web browser.
