Find out how to apply for your Passenger Transport licence code

Previously to become an Uber driver in Sydney you had to hold a private hire driver authority.

Since November 2017, driver authorities have ceased to have effect in NSW. The new process to have a Passenger Transport licence code added to your driver’s licence record is now managed by Uber.

The total cost of for a Passenger Transport licence code is $22 (for the driving history check) and will take up to 14 business days to be processed.

To apply for your Passenger Transport licence code, you can do one of two things:

• Visit a Member Support Centre and sign up with Splend and we’ll facilitate your application and cover the $22 cost od your driving history check
• Visit an Uber Green Light Hub and ask the Uber staff to help you obtain your PTLC

All  Uber drivers in Sydney who already hold a valid private hire drivers authority will be automatically transferred to the new point-to-point regulatory framework.
