Unless you’re driving or delivering in New York City (where all drivers are provided notice of their conditional engagement before a criminal background check is performed), you must pass a background check before you can accept requests using the Driver app. This doesn’t include a credit check.
Background checks usually take 3-5 business days to complete, but can take longer depending on factors like county courthouse processes. Uber can’t expedite your background check report. Uber may require additional time to review background check results after you receive your completed report from one of our third-party background check providers (Checkr, HireRight, and Samba Safety).
