Guest approval requirements

We want your experience on our platform to be easy, safe, and worry-free. Here’s everything you need to know to get started and drive with confidence.

1. What documents do you need to submit?

  • Residency permit (front & back) - If you’re not yet eligible for SG NRIC, submit FIN instead.

  • Driving license (front & back)

A guest may be asked to provide a few extra documents to help complete the application.

2. For Singapore citizens & PR (Permanent Residents)

  • Minimum age: 21 years

  • Citizen: 1 year driving experience in Singapore or Malaysia

  • PRs with a Singapore license less than 2 years old must also provide 5 years foreign driving experience

3. For Foreign Pass Holders (EP, DP, SP, LTVP, WP)

  • Living in SG about 1 year or less: Must have 5 years foreign driving experience AND 1 year Singapore driving experience.

  • Living in SG more than 2 years: Must have either 5 years foreign driving experience OR more than 2 years driving experience in Singapore

4. Possible additional documents

  • Foreign driving record

  • Proof of address

  • Sponsorship documents (for Dependant Pass holders)

Every application is carefully reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Meeting the requirements doesn’t automatically guarantee approval, but it’s a strong first step. Our priority is making sure everyone on the platform is verified and ready to drive with confidence.
