Lodge a Background Check

Partners are required to pass a criminal background check through National Crime Check (NCC). This can be done online and is usually processed within 14 days. You will receive a confirmation email and a copy of your results once your background check has been processed.

No action is required from you after lodging - NCC will supply a copy of your results to Uber. More information is available in the section below.

    InstantID will ask for commonly available documents to fulfill the necessary proof-of-identity requirements. Follow its instructions to proceed.

    You will be asked to take photos and/or upload previous images of your documents to InstantID.
