Background check
Lyft conducts a criminal background check as a part of the application process.
To undergo a background check, U.S. drivers must provide their consent and a valid social security number. Background checks are then run by a third-party company, Checkr, Inc. Most background checks are completed in a few days, but some can take several weeks to process. You can check the status of your background check by logging in to the Checkr applicant portal.
Lyft views and assesses your background check results to determine driver eligibility. You may be ineligible to drive on the Lyft platform if your background check results reveal that you:
- Are listed on the National Sex Offender Registry database
- Have been convicted of the following:
- 不合格的暴力犯罪（例如：杀人、绑架、人口贩卖、纵火、入室盗窃、劫车、抢劫或加重袭击）
- A sexual offense (such as rape, sexual assault, or child pornography)
- An act of terror
- 过去七年内受酒精或毒品影响驾驶（时间范围可能因您所在地区的法律而有所不同）
- A disqualifying fraud-related offense in the past seven years (time frame may vary based on the law in your region)
- A disqualifying drug-related offense in the past seven years (time frame may vary based on the law in your region)
- A disqualifying theft or property damage offense in the past seven years (time frame may vary based on the law in your region)
Please be aware that the above list is not exhaustive, and requirements can vary by location. Lyft reserves the right to disqualify a driver at any time, in compliance with applicable law, should their background check reveal any disqualifying offense.
Lyft requires an up-to-date background check to remain on the platform. Lyft also conducts continuous criminal and driving record monitoring of active drivers.
If something on your background check was flagged, you can take the following steps:
- If you believe your background check is inaccurate or incomplete, you can dispute the results with Checkr through the Checkr applicant portal. Checkr may update your background report through the dispute process.
- If your background check is accurate, you may provide information to Lyft support for review, including, but not limited to:
- 康复证明
- Certificate of Relief from Disabilities
- Court approved dismissal or expungement document
If you recently had a legal name change and are experiencing issues with your background check, please contact support for help.
DMV check
U.S. drivers must undergo a driving record check which is run by a third-party company, Safety Holdings Inc.
The DMV check results are then assessed against Lyft’s internal safety criteria and applicable regulations.
Lyft may disqualify any applicant whose driving record reveals:
- An invalid license status (suspended, surrendered, expired, etc)
- Four or more moving violations in the past three years (such as accidents or traffic light violations)
- A single major moving violation in the past three years (such as driving on a suspended license or reckless driving)
- A DUI or other drug-related driving violation in the past seven years (time frame may vary based on your location)
- A serious driving-related conviction in the past seven years (such as a hit-and-run or a felony involving a vehicle)
Note: The above list is not exhaustive, and requirements can vary by location. Check your local state and city requirements page for more info.

Community Safety Education program
Lyft's committed to educating our community on appropriate behavior in a Lyft ride. To help prevent unpleasant experiences, we've developed a Community Safety Education program. This program is in partnership with RAINN, the largest anti-sexual violence organization in the U.S.
As of 12/15/2019, all Lyft drivers are required to complete this program to continue giving rides. This program addresses how to deal with challenging situations and creating a safe and comfortable ride for everyone.
