Steps to get a private hire licence
To drive with Uber, you'll need to have a private hire licence. Here are few steps showing you how our Ignition programme will help you with every step of licencing processes.
Step 1 - Visit ignition centre
Visit our Ignition centre anytime during the opening hours. You'll get FREE personalised help with every step of your TfL private hire licence application.
Step 2 - Complete Enhanced DBS
We can help you send off for an Enhanced DBS check as part of your application process. Drop in with your passport, driver’s licence and a bank statement (from within 3 months).
Step 3 - Get Medical Check
Call your GP to ask if they can complete the Private Hire Medical Form, check the next availability, cost and inclusion of the eye test.
Step 4 - Submit Private Hire Application
Receive in-person support at our Ignition centre to submit your private hire application to TfL. Drop in with the required documents (Medical, Enhanced DBS, passport, driving licence, NI number and debit/credit card with £310).
Step 5 - Prepare for Topographical Assessment
Once you’ve submitted your private hire driver licence application, you will be invited to sit for a topographical test with TfL. Uber offers preparation sessions so make sure you come along!
Step 6 - Start driving with Uber
Once you’ve received your private hire driver licence, take a look at some vehicle rental options offered by third parties. Make an appointment at our Greenlight Hub to onboard as a new driver partner and get on the road!
