Does Uber do background checks on its drivers every year? It actually depends, and it depends on what state you’re in. Here’s what you need to know about background checks and Uber.
Background check requirement info from Uber here: http://www.therideshareguy.com/uber-driver-requirements/
In case it takes a while for your Uber background check to clear, you should hedge your bets and sign up for Lyft too: http://www.therideshareguy.com/newlyftdriver

is it normal for two background checks in less than a month ? no tickets etc I keep getting emails checked status nothing was found do I need to upload something not sure what's going on thank you if you could help.
i had referred someone and they didnt pass the background check. so they signed up their spouse since they are covered on the car and insurance BUT he will have to drive til it gets cleared.
I do have Lyft as a backup. Is there an amount of time I need to drive with them to remain active? I'd hate to need them and have them not be there… I drive Uber only, so far, but am a pretty new driver active on both platforms (in San Diego).
Thanks for a very informative video. I appreciate the time you take to bring such well-informed content to us who are sometimes too busy to find it otherwise.
same goes with car documents (registrations). I procrastinated and paid online until the last minute then uploaded the confirmation page from dmv. uber won't accept it and I have to wait until I recieve actual registration from the mail. uber won't even accept any receipt or letter from dmv. i got deactivated for 3 weeks. lesson hard learned.

Good video, as usual.

they should have the rider take a selfie went they require a rider.
They need to do a background check on the rider
Hi, if I got a ticket using my wifes car, that is not a car tha I use to work for Uber, them this could affect my background when I refresh for Uber?

how long do you have to wait to reapply again if background (tickets) check failed initially?
do you think it would be safe to assume that Lyft will do the same thing and perhaps even do a better job?
just watch for emails
In ny they don't don't do background check I went to the office and told me.
Well crap, that means that I have to start checking my email to approve it… grrrrrrrrr
