Vehicle inspections in Ottawa

Find an inspection center to schedule an annual vehicle inspection to activate your vehicle

Activez votre véhicule

To drive with Uber in Ottawa, your vehicle must pass an inspection and receive a 'Safety Standards Certificate' (SSC). Every time you complete an inspection, you'll need to upload a new SSC onto your profile.

  • If your vehicle model is 5 years or newer, it will require an inspection every 12 month
  • If your vehicle model is older than 5 years, it will require an inspection every 6 months

Complete the inspection at one of the locations licensed by the Ministry of Transportation that can issue a 'Safety Standards Certificate'.

1. Find the nearest inspection centre

Find your nearest inspection centre and make an appointment for a vehicle inspection.

Wher ever you choose to complete an inspection, be sure to visit a Motor Vehicle Inspection Station that can issue a 'Safety Standards Certificate'.

2. Complete a vehicle inspection

Faites inspecter votre véhicule. Si votre véhicule réussit l'inspection, le mécanicien vous remettra un Certificat de sécurité (SSC).

Prenez note qu'Uber ne couvre pas le coût de l'inspection ni des réparations ou de l'entretien nécessaires pour réussir l'inspection.

3. Upload your Safety Standards Certificate

After you pass your vehicle inspection, upload a clear photo of the 'Safety Standards Certificate' to your Uber account.

If you did not receive a paper vehicle inspection report and have instead been issued a DriveON digital inspection report, you can search for it on the DriveON portal and download it as a PDF file. Make sure to upload the document labeled “Ontario DriveON Safety Standard Certificate”, not the “Ministry of Transportation Safety Inspection Report”.
