🤳 Selfie ID Check

A live selfie helps us confirm you are who you say you are

How it worksYour selfie is matched to the photo on your driver's license, then reviewed by GLIDE staff. It also becomes your driver profile photo that riders see. Once you're driving, the Driver app asks for a quick selfie about once a day to confirm it's you.

What we checkYour NIN identity record · Your driver's licence (FRSC) · Your selfie against your licence photo · Your vehicle papers

What we checkCriminal history · Driving record (MVR) · Sex offender registry · Identity verification

⏱ How it worksAfter you submit, start your background check in the Driver app (the one-time fee is shown there before you pay). It is run by our partner Checkr, which may email you to confirm details. We'll let you know when it's done.

Background Check Authorization I hereby authorize Lotenix Technology LLC (operating GLIDE) and its designated agents to conduct a comprehensive background investigation. This includes criminal records, driving history, identity verification, sex offender registry, and any other records relevant to my application as a rideshare driver. I understand that the background check is conducted by Checkr, Inc. and that I have the right to dispute inaccurate information. This authorization is valid for the duration of my engagement with Glide.

I agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy *
