The validity period for an FHV Probationary License is:

The validity period for an FHV Probationary License is one year. This duration allows new drivers sufficient time to gain experience and demonstrate compliance with all regulations and requirements set forth by the TLC (Taxi and Limousine Commission). During this probationary period, drivers are typically monitored more closely to ensure that they adhere to safe driving practices and professional standards.

This timeframe reflects the TLC's commitment to maintaining high standards in the for-hire vehicle industry, ensuring that only those who can provide safe and reliable transportation to passengers are granted full licensure. After successfully completing this one-year probationary period, drivers can transition to a full FHV license, provided they meet all necessary conditions.
