How to Fill Out & Sign the Uber Vehicle Inspection Form (Free, Online)

If you want to drive for Uber or Uber Eats, passing the vehicle inspection is a mandatory step. Whether you are onboarding as a new driver or renewing your active driver account for the yearly check, Uber requires proof that your car meets strict mechanical and safety requirements.

Many drivers get stuck or face document rejections during this process. Incomplete fields, signatures from unauthorized mechanics, or blurry photo uploads are common reasons Uber flags and rejects inspection documents, slowing down your ability to earn.

This guide explains how to get your **uber inspection form**, what gets checked during the inspection, how to fill out and sign the PDF form online for free, and how to avoid common rejections.

What is the Uber Vehicle Inspection Form?

The Uber vehicle inspection form is a standardized checklist used to verify that your vehicle is roadworthy, safe for passengers, and compliant with local municipal codes. During the inspection, a certified mechanic checks 19 key vehicle parts to ensure they function properly:

• Brakes & Tires: Adequate brake pad thickness, even stopping, and sufficient tire tread depth (typically at least 4/32-inch).
• Lights & Signals: Functional headlights, high beams, turn signals, hazard lights, reverse lights, and brake lights.
• Windshield & Mirrors: No cracks or chips in the windshield within the driver's line of sight, and functional rear-view and side mirrors.
• Safety Restraints: All passenger seatbelts must buckle and retract correctly, and airbags must be active.
• Body & Bumper: No major cosmetic body damage, dented bumpers, or hanging panels. Doors and windows must open and close smoothly.
• Engine & Exhaust: Functional horn, working muffler (no loud exhaust leaks), and no visible leaks from the engine bay.

Because these inspections are mandatory, mechanics at local shops regularly fill out these forms. If your mechanic runs an auto shop, they can review our electronic signature for small business guide to learn how they can digitalize all of their service records.

Who is Allowed to Sign the Uber Inspection Form?

You cannot fill out or sign the safety inspection form yourself. To be accepted by Uber, the form must be completed and signed by one of the following:

• An ASE-Certified Mechanic: Any auto repair facility with active Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certifications.
• A State-Licensed Inspector: In states with mandatory vehicle safety inspections (like Texas, Pennsylvania, or New York), a licensed state inspector can sign the form.
• Uber Greenlight Hub: In select major cities, Uber operates physical support centers where they offer free or low-cost vehicle inspections.
• Commercial Quick-Lube Chains: Many Jiffy Lube, Pep Boys, and Firestone locations are authorized to perform Uber vehicle safety checks.

Why Local Processing is Critical for Drivers

Your Uber vehicle inspection form contains highly sensitive personal information, including your full legal name, home address, vehicle license plate, and the vehicle's 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). If you upload this PDF to online editors that process files on their cloud databases, your data is stored on their servers—exposing you to security breaches.

Using MyDigitSign protects your data privacy. MyDigitSign uses WebAssembly (Wasm) to compile your PDFs locally inside your browser cache. **Your documents are never uploaded to our servers.** When your mechanic signs the form, the edit happens locally on your device, ensuring that your VIN and address remain 100% private. Once you download the completed PDF, closing the tab wipes the memory.

How to Avoid Uber Inspection Form Rejections

To avoid delay, make sure your uploaded form meets all of Uber's audit requirements:

• Make Sure the Odometer and VIN Match: Ensure the VIN and odometer mileage written on the form match the VIN and mileage listed on your insurance card and registration.
• Inspector License Number Must Be Listed: Uber auditors will check the mechanic's ASE or state license number. If this field is blank, the document will be flagged and rejected.
• The Document Must Be Clear: If you are uploading a photo of a printed form, ensure all four corners of the page are visible and the text is legible. To avoid blurry photos, we recommend downloading the signed digital PDF directly from MyDigitSign.
• Check the Inspection Date: Uber requires you to upload the form within 30 days of the inspection date. If you wait longer, the form will be considered expired, and you will need to get a new inspection.
