Requisitos para conducir

To help you stay safe and compliant on the road, this page talks about being aware of local regulatory requirements. Please take the time to read and understand your obligations under these regulations.

Requisitos para socios de la App

Exhibición de la etiqueta adhesiva/la identificación

Some regulations require you to display a sign or sticker that helps riders identify that you are a rideshare driver. To help with this, we provide a removable Uber sticker to be displayed on your vehicle whenever you’re online (where required). If the sticker is not properly displayed, or if it’s not visible while you’re driving with the Driver app (day or night), you could be subject to penalties by local authorities.

Driving-hour limits

State and local regulations may enforce limits on the number of hours drivers can spend online on rideshare platforms. To help you keep track of your time online, the Driver app will alert you when you’re approaching the applicable limit, and then again when you’ve been online for the maximum amount of time. After a substantial period of time offline, driving time resets and you can go online again to receive trip requests.

Guías comunitarias

Our Community Guidelines were developed to help make every experience feel safe, respectful, and positive. Everyone who signs up for an Uber account across all of our apps, including drivers, riders, delivery people, Uber Eats users, and restaurants, is expected to follow the guidelines.

Virginia regulations

Exhibe la calcomanía de Uber en tu vehículo

Under local regulations for Virginia, all drivers must display an Uber decal on their vehicle while online. Place it on your rear passenger window facing outward. You can remove it when you decide to go offline and save it for the next time. Pro tip: if you keep the paper it comes with, you can place your sticker on that when not in use.

Once you become a driver using Uber, we'll mail you a decal. You should receive it within 7 business days. If you ever need a new decal after you become a driver, you can request a new one be mailed to you. You can also pick one up at your local Greenlight Hub.

Need a temporary decal? Print one at home here.

Infórmanos sobre cualquier cambio

Debes notificarnos sobre cualquier cambio en el estado de tu licencia de conducir, registro o seguro del vehículo motorizado. También deberás notificar si te arrestaron o si se presentaron cargos en tu contra por cometer un crimen o un delito al conducir, lo que incluye que tu nombre figure en el Registro de agresores sexuales y crímenes contra menores, o en el sitio web público nacional de agresores sexuales del Departamento de Justicia de EE. UU.

Las normas de Maryland exigen que cualquier socio de Uber arrestado o sentenciado por un crimen se lo notifique a Uber dentro de los 3 días hábiles posteriores al arresto o a la sentencia. Puedes notificar a Uber aquí.

Remember, it's always your responsibility to understand and comply with the law when you’re out on the road. Nothing on Uber’s website is legal or tax advice. If you have questions about the law, you can always consult your local department of transportation and/or an appropriate legal or tax professional.
