COVID-19: Information for new driver and delivery partner activations

16April,2020 / Melbourne
Featured image for COVID-19: Information for new driver and delivery partner activations

Information below is now outdated. To read our COVID safety plan for Victoria, see here.

As Victoria responds to COVID-19, people are being directed to stay home and restaurants are open for delivery or takeaway only. This means a few things: account activation may be delayed at this time and it may take longer to get on the road. And once you do, you will likely experience fewer trip or delivery requests, so earnings may be lower than usual. We encourage you to keep this in mind if you’d like to get activated at this time.

Guidance for activation requirements and documentation

If you would like to sign up to drive or deliver with Uber, you can find the minimum requirements in Victoria below.

    Tips to upload your documents successfully:

    Given delays in document processing times, it’s more important than ever to upload your documents successfully. Here’s how: 

    • Make sure all required details are clearly visible
    • Upload your driver’s licence first
    • Upload one image or PDF at a time
    • Upload original documents only

    Questions you may have:

    How can I get support?

    Given the current COVID-19 situation, we are also experiencing delays to our customer response times. If you are inquiring about a document you submitted, you can check its status in your Driver app. If you still have questions, you can contact us via the Help section of the Driver app, and we will work to get back to you as quickly as possible.
