Nevada Business License
A state law, Nevada SB554, requires all drivers to verify with Uber that they have a Nevada Business License. Under this law, you won't be eligible to accept trips using the Driver app if you do not obtain a Nevada Business License. Note that business license exemption documents are not acceptable for this requirement.
The law went into effect on October 1, 2017, but the deadline to verify your Nevada Business License with Uber depends on when you activated your driver account with Uber. You can see how to determine your deadline below:
How to determine your deadline
If you activated on or before October 1, 2017, the law requires you to verify your Nevada Business License with Uber on or before the next anniversary of your activation date after the law goes into effect. For example, if you activated your Uber account on September 29 of any year, then you need to verify your license by September 29, 2018, which is the next anniversary of your activation date after the law takes effect.
If you activated between October 2 and December 31 in 2016 or earlier, your deadline to verify your Nevada Business License was that date in 2017. If you need help, use this how-to guide or visit your local Greenlight Hub.
If you activated on or after October 2, 2017, the law requires you to verify your Nevada Business License with Uber within 6 months of your activation to remain eligible for trips.
