Driving with Uber in Poland requires more than opening the app. Check your personal documents, the taxi licensing route, vehicle eligibility and Uber's verification steps before committing to a car or a contract. The order and time needed depend on your documents, city office and account review.
Step 1: check your eligibility
Uber's current licensing guide for Poland lists a minimum age of 18 and a category B driving licence held for at least one year. It states that Uber accepts Polish driving licences for this process. If your licence was issued abroad, ask about your individual route to a Polish licence before planning a start date. Check your identity document and right to work in Poland as applicable to your situation.
Step 2: prepare driver and taxi documents
Uber lists a criminal record certificate, medical and psychological checks, taxi driver identification and taxi licensing documents in its Polish process. A fleet partner may help with the licensing route and a vehicle extract. Check which documents you must obtain yourself and which the partner prepares. The certificate and appointment requirements can change, so use Uber's current instructions and confirm local office requirements. Our taxi licence guide and vehicle document guide explain the terms.
Step 3: check the car before buying or renting
The eligible model, year and category depend on the city and service type. Check Uber's current vehicle list for the city where you intend to drive. Ask about the taxi entry in the registration document, the licence extract, technical inspection and insurance for paid passenger transport. Confirm the insurance cover in writing with the insurer; do not assume a standard policy is sufficient. See also how to choose a car for Uber.
Step 4: upload documents and complete verification
Register in Uber Driver, upload the documents requested for your account and complete any in-person identity verification shown by Uber. Keep the original documents available for the appointment. If a document is rejected, check the reason in the app and correct it before uploading again. See our Uber Driver app guide. Do not assume that approval will take a fixed number of hours.
Step 5: review the offer and start driving
Before your first trip, ask the partner for a written breakdown of fees, payout timing, vehicle costs and the type of agreement. Compare expected revenue with all hours online and all kilometres driven, including time without a passenger. Our earnings guide explains the calculation without promising a typical income.
