What Documents Do I Need to Drive for Uber?
Most importantly you’ll need your driver’s license, vehicle for hire permit, and proof of insurance.
You’ll need to supply Uber with proof of address in your city, state or province. Check with Uber which documents they require, but usually, a utility bill or bank statement showing your address will suffice.

Make sure you’re fully covered with Uber and livery insurance from INSHUR.
