Becoming a delivery partner

• To signup as a Delivery Partner with Uber Eats, you must be at least 18 years old.
  
  
• Government employees who are prohibited from having a second job, such as Self-Defense Forces Personnel, cannot register as Delivery Partners.
  
  
• Foreign nationals must have a status of residence that allows them to work as a Delivery Partner for Uber Eats. Please be sure to submit your ID and proof of permission to work. For more information, check the "Documents Required for Foreign Nationals (Statuses of Residence eligible for signup)” at the bottom of the page. Please note that Uber Eats will only accept new signup requests from foreign nationals if they are a special permanent resident or permanent resident, Spouse or Child of a Japanese National, Spouse or Child of a Permanent Resident, a long-term resident, or have a Designated Activity status (working holiday).
  
  
• To become an Uber Eats Delivery Partner, you will need basic Japanese communication skills.
  
  
• Under Account Name, enter your full name as it appears on your passport including any middle names.
  
  
• You may submit official certificates (such as driver's license, resident card, passport, my number card, Juki card, health insurance card, etc.) as supporting documents to prove your maiden name or alias name. For health insurance cards, please cover up the numbers and QR code.

• Deliveries using vehicles for private use are not permitted by law. Motorbikes over 125cc and light vehicles must be reported as "light motor truck transportation businesses".
  
  

• "All-electric bicycles" and "pedal-powered electric bicycles (mopeds)" are treated as motorized bicycles, not bicycles, under the Road Traffic Act. Therefore, these vehicles must be registered as motorized bicycles if they are used for deliveries. If you operate these vehicles on public roads, you are required to obtain a driver's license, a license plate, and liability insurance. In addition, you need to obey the same traffic rules as motorized bicycles, including wearing a helmet.

  If you are found to be using an “Specified small motorized bicycle," "all-electric bicycle," or "pedal-powered electric bicycle" when you have registered as a "bicycle" for deliveries, your Uber driver account may be suspended in accordance with the Uber Eats Community Guidelines. We appreciate your understanding.

• Kickboards and skateboards, whether motorized or human-powered, cannot be used for deliveries.
  
  
• Bicycle Registration for Anti-Theft Purposes is required by law. Please make sure to register your bicycle for Anti-Theft Purposes.
  
  
• Uber strongly encourages wearing helmets when delivering by bicycle. Delivery Partners who wear helmets can join HelmetClub, which offers particular benefits. For more information and to apply for membership, click here.
