  1. hi i dont have a professional drivers license yet but i sign up for partner operator and also our car doesnt have a plate number yet . how can i finish the uber profile?

    Reply
    • Conduction sticker is accepted. You’ll just need to update the vehicle profile once you have the plate number.
      If you don’t plan to drive, no need to upload any driver’s license just leave it blank. Just make sure that your driver has PRO license.

    • Hi Dj, you can still sign-up and register as a Partner with Uber and submit the requirements so when LTFRB resumes the applications, maipapasa agad ni Uber yung requirements nyo. However as per Uber, vehicle activation might be onhold until LTFRB resumes accepting applications. But driver activation (for Uber Match) is still the same.
