(a) The application for a taxicab driver's license shall be made in writing by the applicant upon blank forms to be furnished by the Chief of Police. The applicant shall fill out a blank form to be provided by the Chief, giving his full name, residence, places of residence for five years next preceding the date of such application, age, height, color of eyes and hair, place of birth, whether a citizen of the United States, places of previous employment, whether married or single, whether he has ever been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor and if so when and where and how many times, and whether he has previously been licensed as a driver and if so whether his license has ever been revoked and for what cause. The application shall be accompanied by two unmounted, unretouched photographs of the applicant taken within 100 days of the date of the application and which shall not be less than two by three inches in size and suitable for attachment to such license. If such license is issued to such applicant, one photograph shall be securely attached to the license issued to such person and the other shall be filed with the application in the office of the Chief. Each licensed driver shall at all times display such license and photograph in his taxicab so that any passenger occupying the taxicab may inspect the same, and upon demand of any police officer, he shall exhibit the same to him. When the application for a license is denied, one copy of the photograph shall be returned to the applicant and the other kept in the files of the office of the Chief.
(b) The application shall be signed and sworn to by the applicant and filed as a permanent record in the office of the Chief. No applicant shall make any false statement or representation for the purpose of securing a license. Any such false statement or representation shall, in addition to subjecting the applicant to the penalty provided in Section 870.99, forthwith, upon its discovery, work a revocation of such license.
