How to become a taxi driver step by step
Starting in taxi is simpler than it seems. Most formalities (licence, checks) are handled with partner support, and sign‑up itself is online.
Requirements to start
- Category B licence (held at least 1 year).
- Being 18+.
- Foreigners: a legal‑residence document.
- A compliant car (max 15 years, 4 doors, valid inspection) — your own or rented.
Step 1: sign up with the partner
First you register with a settlement partner. They run the contract, help gather documents and connect you to the apps — without registering your own company.
Step 2: licence and checks
Taxi work requires a passenger‑transport licence plus medical and psychological checks and a criminal‑record certificate. The partner shows where and how to arrange them fastest.
Step 3: app onboarding
After the formalities you're connected to Uber, Bolt and FreeNow. You set up the account, add the car and start your first rides. Full taxi activation can take up to 2 weeks.
