1. Driver's License

Rejection Reason

What it means

How to fix it

The document uploaded is not a driver’s license

Ensure you take and upload a clear, full-page photo of your actual, valid driver’s license.

2. National Identity Card

Internal: Pièce d'identité en cours de validité

2. National Identity Card

Rejection Reason

What it means

How to fix it

Unaccepted document type

The document uploaded is not recognized or accepted by our platform for this specific requirement (e.g., uploading a driver’s license instead of an official ID)

Ensure you are uploading an official government-issued or officially recognized document that matches the requested type.

Name mismatch

The name displayed on the uploaded document does not match the name registered on your driver/fleet partner account

Double-check that your first and last names are spelled exactly the same way on both your profile and the document.

Missing side

Only one side of the identity card was uploaded. The system requires both sides to verify the document's security features and expiration date

You must upload both the front and the back of your French Identity Card.

3. Profile picture

Internal: Votre photo

3. Profile picture

Rejection Reason

What it means

How to fix it

Eyes not fully visible

The eyes are obscured or cannot be clearly seen in the profile photo. This is typically caused by wearing sunglasses, heavily tinted glasses, a hat casting a shadow, or hair covering the face

Take a new photo ensuring the eyes are completely visible and open.

No face detected

The verification system cannot detect a human face in the submitted image. This occurs if the photo is too dark, blurry, taken from a side angle (profile view), or if an incorrect file type was uploaded by mistake

Look directly into the camera lens (frontal view) and ensure the entire face is centered within the frame.

Zoomed too close or too far away

Only one side of the identity card was uploaded. The system requires both sides to verify the document's security features and expiration date

Adopt a standard ID-style framing: the image must include the full head, shoulders, and upper chest, with the face occupying the majority of the frame.

4. Private Hire Driver's License

Internal: Carte Professionnelle VTC

4. Private Hire Driver's License

Rejection Reason

What it means

How to fix it

Missing side

Only one side of the VTC license was uploaded. The verification process requires both the front and the back of the card to validate security features

Upload high-quality, clear photographs of both the front and the back of the VTC card.

Need supporting documents

The physical VTC card has expired, and the upload requires an accompanying official renewal document to be accepted

Upload a clear picture showing both the front and back of the VTC card alongside the official renewal attestation document.

Expired document

The VTC license is considered invalid due to one of the following two reasons:

  1. The expiration date visible on the front of the physical VTC card has passed
  2. The card does not appear as active when cross-checked on the official external VTC card validation platform

Check the validity date printed on the front of the card and ensure a renewed, up-to-date VTC license is uploaded. If the physical card appears valid but is rejected, verify that the license is properly registered and active within the official government validation portal.

5. In-Person Check of Private Hire Driver's License
