Uploading your documents
To drive using the Driver app, you are required to upload certain documents to get your account set up. Refer to the information below when uploading each document.
Tips for uploading your documents
Follow these tips to ensure that you successfully upload your documents the first time.
Use original documents
Please take photos of your original documents; photocopied documents are not accepted.
Capture the whole document
That means including all 4 edges. If any are cut off, try moving the camera farther away.
Take sharp, clear images
Take photos in a well-lit room and allow your camera to focus first. Avoid blur, glare, and reflections, and make sure text is easy to read.
Upload your driver's licence first
This will speed up the approval process when we need to cross-check your licence with other documents.
It's the quickest and easiest way to upload your documents.
Required documents
1. Driver's licence
- 18+ year old
- Nova Scotia Class 1, 2 or 4
3 years of driving experience
A driver's licence is required to deliver with Uber Eats if using a car, but not if delivering using a bike.
2. Proof of work eligibility
Proof of work options include any of the following:
- Passport
- Residency card
- Birth certificate
- Citizenship card
- Work permit
If delivering by bike, the proof of work serves as your photo ID. If your proof of work does not contain a photo, please include a separate photo ID in the same picture.
3. Nova Scotia vehicle permit
- Vehicle must be 9 years old or newer
- Vehicle must be registered in Nova Scotia
Must be valid and not expired
Vehicle registration is required to deliver with Uber Eats if using a car, but not if delivering using a bike.
4. Nova Scotia motor vehicle liability insurance card (pink slip)
- Insurance should be in your name (if not, you must include documentation listing you as secondary or occasional driver)
Must be valid and not expired
Vehicle insurance is required to deliver with Uber Eats if using a car, but not if delivering using a bike.
If you're using a vehicle to deliver, you need to contact your insurance broker to determine whether you need to make any changes to your automobile insurance in order to deliver with Uber Eats.
It is your responsibility to have appropriate insurance coverage in place.
