Document Requirements for Drivers

To drive with Uber Black or Uber Taxi in Japan, drivers need to have permission for taxi or hire operations.

If you have permission, all you need to do is sign up, get activated and start driving! In order to get activated, you will need to submit the required documents.

Before submitting all documents, please make sure:

(1) Documents have not expired, (2) Photos include four corners of each document and are not blurred.

Tips: uploading your documents

Make sure all required details are clearly visible

Ensure your document contains all required details before uploading. The entire document should be clearly visible.

Upload your driver's licence first

This will speed up the approval process when we need to cross-check your licence with other documents.

Upload one image or PDF at a time
