What identification is required for FHV drivers while operating?

FHV drivers are required to carry specific identification to ensure they are legally permitted to operate their vehicle and to provide proof of insurance coverage. A valid TLC driver’s license is essential as it verifies that the driver has undergone the necessary training and has been authorized by the Taxi and Limousine Commission to perform for-hire services. Additionally, a certificate of insurance is critical because it demonstrates that the driver holds the appropriate insurance coverage required by law to protect both the driver and passengers in case of an incident.

This combination of identification shows adherence to regulatory standards ensuring safety and compliance for for-hire vehicle operations. The other options lack components that are specifically mandated for FHV drivers, either focusing on irrelevant or insufficient forms of identification that do not fulfill the regulatory requirements necessary for operating as a for-hire vehicle driver.
