Video
In Uber we want our partners to be able to sign up to the platform as efficiently and quickly as possible. For this, we have the option of virtual activation of collaborating partners. By uploading all your documents to your profile, passing the criminal background check and watch the video, we can activate you without you visiting one of our activation centers. Complete these steps to sign up today!
