Defensive driving course requirements

If you did sign up to drive with Uber but didn’t submit a TLC license application before the deadline, your account has been placed on a waiting list.

Applications that have been denied by the TLC will not be considered. The TLC requires all license applicants to complete a defensive driving course at a TLC-approved driving school. The course typically costs around $40 and runs for about six hours.

If you’ve taken defensive driving at a New York State course provider within the last three years, and have your proof of completion certificate, you do not need to take defensive driving again.

Once you’ve completed defensive driving, add a copy of your defensive driving completion certificate by tapping the TLC Up Portal link below.
