Once uploaded, your documents will be reviewed and approved.
Your registration process is then complete and your account is set up.
Just remember! There may be delays in your activation.
We are not always adding new couriers. So you may not immediately be activated once you have signed up. Always keep your contact details updated so that we can get in touch when there is a demand in your area.
Step 9:
An insulated delivery bag is required for deliveries on the Uber Eats App.
You will receive a link to purchase a bag when your account is ready.
You are encouraged to not purchase a bag before all your documents have been approved and without communication to do so.
Step 10:
After collecting your bag, your account will be completed within 24 to 48 hours.
You will then be ready to receive orders and start earning!
Secondhand delivery bags or delivery bags purchased from non-approved service providers do not comply with merchants’ expectations and are therefore strictly not permitted for delivery via the Uber Eats platform.
