Lodge a Background Check
Partners are required to pass a criminal background check through National Crime Check (NCC). This can be done online and is usually processed within 14 days. You will receive a confirmation email and a copy of your results once your background check has been processed.
No action is required from you after lodging - NCC will supply a copy of your results to Uber. More information is available in the section below.
Background Check process overview
What you need to do
2. Provide your details, addresses and other names
Your details will be pre-populated based on your Uber profile. Check to ensure your details are correct, and fill in anything missing as necessary.
You will need to provide 5+ years worth of address history. For any addresses outside of Australia, just try to fill in as accurately as you can.
If you have previously used any other names, provide them to NCC. If you have changed your name due to marriage, changed your legal first name, removed a middle name - these all constitute name changes. Or if none, you can indicate and skip.
3. Upload proof-of-identity documents using InstantID
InstantID will ask for commonly available documents to fulfill the necessary proof-of-identity requirements. Follow its instructions to proceed.
You will be asked to take photos and/or upload previous images of your documents to InstantID.
See the quick reference guide on Proof-of-Identity for more information.
