Guide for ZEVO Drivers in California: Submitting Temporary Registrations to Uber

Important Information About Temporary Registrations

As a ZEVO driver in California who provides rideshare services through Uber, you'll need to understand how to properly submit your temporary vehicle registration documents. This guide will walk you through the process and highlight important details to ensure your documents are processed correctly.

Understanding Your Temporary Registration Document

• The Date on Your Temporary Registration: The date shown on your temporary registration is NOT an expiration date. It is a sold date or issue date.
• Common Misconception: Many drivers incorrectly mark this date as the "expiration date" when submitting to Uber, which can cause processing delays or rejections.

How to Submit Your Temporary Registration Correctly

1. Take a clear, well-lit photo of your entire temporary registration document. This can be found affixed to the lower corner of the windshield.
2. Submit the photo through the Uber driver app or partner portal.
3. Do NOT manually enter any dates from the document as "expiration dates."
4. Allow Uber's system to process the document as is - their system is designed to recognize and properly handle California temporary registrations.

What Happens After Submission

Uber will review your temporary registration and calculate the appropriate validity period based on California regulations. They understand that temporary registrations in California are valid for a specific timeframe and will process your document accordingly.

Common Issues to Avoid

• Don't: Enter the sold/issue date as an expiration date
• Don't: Crop or edit the temporary registration document
• Don't: Submit blurry or partial images of the document

When to Update Your Documents

Once you receive your permanent registration from the California DMV, take a photo of it and submit it to Uber as soon as possible to ensure continuous eligibility to drive.
