STANDARD INTERNATIONAL OPERATOR LICENCE
A standard international licence allows you to carry your own goods, and goods for other people for hire or reward, both in Great Britain and on international journeys.
Operators who are issued with standard international licences will also receive Community Licences.
These are required for all hire or reward operations in, or through EU countries and are documents required to be carried on the vehicle at such times.
Appointing a Transport Manager
​
If you are an operator applying for a standard international licence, you will need to have at least one transport manager who satisfies the requirements of good repute and professional competence.
​
Transport Managers can be hired internally or brought in as external transport managers. Both internal and external transport managers must abide by the same rules and work the relevant number of hours as stated in the guidelines.

Below is the statutory guidance as to what might be expected in terms of hours worked by a transport manager, relative to the maximum number of vehicles authorised for a licence.
