How do I change my ID on Uber?

To update your name, email, phone number, or password for your Uber rider account: Open the app menu and tap ?Settings.? Tap the bar that displays your name, phone number, and email. Tap the detail you want to change and enter the updated information.



To update your identification or the name on your Uber account in 2026, you must navigate to the "Account" tab in the app, select "Settings," and then tap on your current name or profile details. If you need to upload a new government-issued ID (common for drivers or for "Uber Identity" verification), you typically go to the "Legal" or "Identity Verification" section within the Help menu. For security reasons, if you are a driver, changing your ID requires a new background check and manual approval from Uber's support team, which can take 3–5 business days. For riders, if the app doesn't allow a direct edit due to a recent verification lock, you should submit a support ticket via "Help > Account and Payment Options > Changing account settings" and attach a clear photo of your updated ID to prove the change is legitimate.
