How long does Uber security take?

3?5 business days Once you submit your background check through Uber, it'll take a few days to run your information. Uber uses the third-party companies Checkr, HireRight, and Samba Safety to double-check if you're eligible to drive for the company.



If you are applying to be a driver, the Uber background check typically takes between 3 to 5 business days to complete in 2026. However, this timeline can be extended to two weeks or more if there are delays in local government record-keeping or if you have lived in multiple states/countries. The process is conducted by third-party vendors like Checkr or HireRight, who screen your driving record and criminal history. For riders, the "security" aspect usually refers to the identity verification process, which is nearly instantaneous but may occasionally require you to upload a selfie or a photo of your ID if the system flags unusual activity. If your driver background check is "stalled," it is often because the vendor is waiting on a specific county courthouse to provide manual records. Drivers are encouraged to monitor their status via the Uber Driver app and check their email frequently for any requests from the background check vendor for additional documentation or clarification.
