To use taxi ranks on public roads or in a publicly accessible (i.e. without barriers) private car park in a municipality, you must submit an application to the municipality. You make an application per municipality where you want to use a taxi rank and per vehicle for which you want authorisation.

Conditions
Conditions
To obtain an authorisation for stand taxi, you must have a permit for individual remunerated passenger transport (new permit since 1 January 2020). The authorisation will only be issued if the applicant either already holds an individual paid passenger transport permit or applies for that permit together with the authorisation application.
The driver, who holds an authorisation stand taxi, is obliged to use a fare card and a taxi light as soon as he enters the stands.
Those with an authorisation are no longer obliged to respect the perimeter of 200 metres walking distance around stands in the municipality to which the authorisation applies. After all, those stands are reserved for stand taxis with an authorisation from the municipality concerned.
The stand taxi authorisation is personal and non-transferable. It applies to the use of all taxi stands in the municipality.
