The Get Compliance Info API enables Rental suppliers to access the up-to-date compliance information for specific drivers within the Uber system. Upon request, this API delivers detailed compliance information.

¶ Use case

In a Rental suppliers platform, the Get Compliance Info API plays a pivotal role in ensuring regulatory compliance. For instance, rental companies can verify a driver’s compliance status by leveraging this API, obtaining real-time compliance info containing the current status and the timestamp of the last update.

¶ Notes

Important checks on driver compliance

• Rental company should only open the contract when the driver status is ONBOARDED or ACTIVE.

• If the driver’s status is WAITLISTED, the rental company should ask the driver to get activated again. This is generally the case of temporary deactivation due to doc expiry, background check expiry, etc. If the status stays in WAITLISTED for too long, the driver should be asked to return the vehicle.

• If the driver’s status is REJECTED, the rental company should immediately ask the driver to return the vehicle.
