Each grant is printed in that area’s weekly Applications and Decisions (goods vehicles) or Notices and Proceedings (buses and coaches). We read every issue and list each grant once, in the month it was published. A grant does not always mean the licence is in use yet: the holder must pay the issue fee first, and a grant the holder does not take up is published later as “grant not taken up”. An issued licence then appears in the DVSA operator licence file, where its page here shows status, vehicles and operating centres. Month pages are indexed for search when they name at least 10 companies. Suppliers to new operators (leasing, insurance, telematics, fuel cards, compliance) use these lists to find new hauliers; the CSV and the Atom feed carry the same named rows. ## More data and tools - [**Upcoming public inquiries** Traffic Commissioner public inquiries listed for companies, by traffic area.](https://haulierscope.co.uk/public-inquiries) - [**Haulier insolvency watch** Licences held by companies in liquidation or administration.](https://haulierscope.co.uk/insolvency-watch) - [**Companies House filing watch** Hauliers whose accounts are overdue at Companies House.](https://haulierscope.co.uk/filing-watch) - [**Continuation dates by month** Which operator licences are due for continuation, and when.](https://haulierscope.co.uk/continuations) - [**DVSA earned recognition list** Operators in DVSA's earned recognition scheme, by traffic area.](https://haulierscope.co.uk/earned-recognition) - [**Data status** How old each source is and when we last checked it.](https://haulierscope.co.uk/status) - [**Applications and Decisions by area** The latest weekly bulletin in each traffic area: new applications, objection deadlines, grants and refusals.](https://haulierscope.co.uk/applications-and-decisions) - [**Licences revoked, surrendered or terminated** Licences the Traffic Commissioners list each month as revoked, surrendered or terminated, in their own wording.](https://haulierscope.co.uk/licences-ended) - [**Traffic Commissioner decisions** Revocations, refusals, warnings and curtailments decided by the Traffic Commissioners, by outcome and area.](https://haulierscope.co.uk/tc-decisions) Guides - [How to get an operator licence](https://haulierscope.co.uk/guides/how-to-get-an-operator-licence) - [Applications and Decisions explained](https://haulierscope.co.uk/guides/applications-and-decisions) - [Financial standing rules](https://haulierscope.co.uk/guides/financial-standing) DVSA file 7 Sep 2026 Source: DVSA operator licence data, file dated 7 September 2026, read 30 September 2026.
