I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Uber (Baltimore, MD) in Jun 2014
Interview
Submitted requested documents. Registration, proof of 1+ years of driving, basic information. Unfortunately, the MVA proof of driving history was too complicated for Uber to understand. I had been driving for 16 years when I applied for the job. My three year driving history only listed two events: March 2014 license renewal and previous license returned, and August 2013 new car title. Despite the license entry being a 'renewal', Uber stated there was no proof I had been driving for longer than a year. Most driver's licenses expire every 3-5 years. One might be able to assume if I was renewing my license then that meant my previous license was 3-5 years old. Because of the convoluted system Uber had in place at the time, it took months to rectify this issue in my application.
you apply, and have a background check....sometimes you may meet with a local rep. They will give you paper work explaining more of what you should expect as a driver.
