Under the Section 19 permit scheme, non-profit making organisations (bodies concerned with education, religion, social welfare, recreation or other activities for the benefit of the local community) can make a charge to passengers for providing transport without the need to obtain a PSV Operator’s Licence and, in most cases, without having to comply with PCV driver licensing requirements.
Certain conditions have to be met:
Section 19 permits can be used for vehicles for carrying 9-16 passengers
Permits are issued to groups (e.g. Youth Service, Parent Teacher Association, Scouts) or a named individual on behalf of the group
Each vehicle must have (and display) a permit and be used in accordance with its conditions;
The vehicle must not be used to carry the public at large;
The vehicle must not be used for a visit which is carried out for profit;
The permit is not valid for journeys outside the UK.
The driver is providing their services on a voluntary basis.

Our vehicle carries less than 9 passengers, do I need a Section 19 permit?
No permit is required for vehicles that were built to carry fewer than 9 passengers. Removal of seats does not qualify for exemption.
