Tell us a little about yourself and your car by creating a driver profile.

Take photos of the following documents and upload them to your account:

• Driver's licence: 21+ years old, Class 1, 2, or 4 licences are accepted. Class 5 is not accepted. Make sure to avoid using flash so that your information is clear and readable. If you're uploading an interim licence, please include a Canadian government-issued photo ID (e.g. passport, residency card) in the same photo to verify your identity. Your address must also be visible on the document.
• Proof of work eligibility: Birth certificate, Citizenship card, Passport, Permanent PR card, Work permit, Social Insurance Number card or letter, Study permit (if it declares the ability to work off-campus unrelated to program of study), Certificate of Indian Status, Canadian Forces Identification Card, Nexus card. Please submit a photo or the original document. Scanned copies are not accepted. Make sure to avoid using flash so that your information is clear and readable.
  • If you are uploading a work permit extension letter, upload the extension letter and your work permit in the same photo
  • If you are waiting for your renewed PR card, upload a photo of your current PR card and PR card extension letter

The city will send you a link to complete their online training course via email. You will have 30 days to complete the training upon receiving the email. Please complete this as soon as possible in order to get your Transportation Network Driver’s License (TNDL).

The City of Calgary has implemented new charges for its training program effective January 1, 2022. To offset the charges imposed by the City for its training program, $95 will be deducted from your future earnings (excluding tips) in two instalments of $47.50 each.

The $95 covers the City’s charges for its training program which will focus on providing transportation to passengers with disabilities, cultural diversity, driver safety/enforcement and bylaw information. For more information regarding the City’s mandatory training program please see link below:

After all your documents are uploaded and approved, Uber will apply for your TNDL with Vehicle for Hire (VfH) if you are a new TNDL holder. Please allow 7-10 business days for Uber to process your documents to send to VfH.

If you are renewing your TNDL, please visit Vehicle For Hire Calgary 2340 – 22 Street N.E., Calgary, AB T2E 8B7.
