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 government-issued photo ID (e.g. passport, residency card) in the same photo to verify your identity.
• 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

City of Edmonton’s rideshare by-law requires you to complete the City of Edmonton Vehicle for Hire Driver Training. You will be enrolled in the training once you open the Uber Driver app. After you have been enrolled, take the training through t.uber.com/Edmonton_VFH_course. Once completed, Uber will generate your Training Certificate and upload it to your driver account.

Alternatively, if you have completed training with another Vehicle for Hire provider, please contact support and upload your City of Edmonton Vehicle for Hire Training Certificate. Our team will add it to your driver account so you can start taking trips.
