To upload your inspection form:
1. Open the menu
2. Tap on 'Account'

Inspections are valid until the marked expiration date. If no expiration date is marked, Lyft will require a new inspection to be done one year after the inspection date.
徽章和许可证要求
Skip to:
Lyft 商业外观徽章
司机在司机模式下时必须贴示 Lyft 徽章。Lyft 徽章是 Lyft 的官方商业外观。徽章可以帮助乘客和执法者识别您的车辆。
您会在检验车辆时或通过邮件收到可在您的车辆上显示的机场标贴和城市税费徽章。每当您进入司机模式时，都应将 Lyft 徽章贴示在乘客一侧挡风玻璃的下角。退出司机模式时，请务必取下徽章。
If you didn't get an emblem or need a new one, place an order in your Lyft Driver app or Dashboard. While waiting for it to arrive, you may print a temporary emblem.
城市税费徽章
The City of Chicago requires all Lyft drivers to display their annual City Tax Emblem on their front windshield at all times while in driver mode. Each car you drive with Lyft will need its own unique City Tax Emblem. Failure to display your City Tax Emblem while completing ride requests may result in citations up to $2,000.
To access the City Tax Emblem:
- Go the email account you used to sign up for Lyft.
- 查找来自Lyft的电子邮件，主题为：“需要操作-打印并展示您的城市税费徽章。”
- Select the link to your City Tax Emblem for your approved car.
If you can't find the email from Lyft, look for an email from the City of Chicago (cserv@cityofchicago.org). This email will also have a link to your City Tax Emblem for your approved car.
If you can't find either of those emails, check your spam folder. If you still can't find them, go into driver mode. Shortly after logging in, you should receive an email from Lyft and the City of Chicago with your new City Tax Emblem.
- Didn't receive your new City Tax Emblem.
- Need a replacement City Tax Emblem.
311 标贴
You will receive a rectangular 311 sticker in the mail, to be applied to the back of your Lyft emblem, facing the inside of your car. Learn how to apply your 311 sticker.
机场许可证
在芝加哥机场提供打车服务时，都要在乘客一侧的后挡风玻璃上贴示蓝色机场许可证。
To order a placard:
- 在司机 App 中打开“车辆和设备”。
- Tap ‘Order Airport Placard.’
- 点击“申请您的许可证”。
- 填写相关信息
