How to apply for a car-hailing license?
Why should ride-hailing drivers manage it?
According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Transport, whether it is online car-hailing or cruise car, it provides a general passenger transportation service for the public, and the driver is subject to access management according to law. This is the bottom line requirement of the industry management department to ensure transportation safety and service quality. The "Regulations on the Administration of Taxi Driver Qualifications" have been revised to consider the characteristics of online car-hailing, and through "tailor-made" system design and management innovation, it actively supports the development of new business formats. For example: Compared with cruise car drivers, the content of the online car-hailing driver’s test is simplified to the greatest extent, and its registration and cancellation are stipulated. It can be completed by the platform company reporting to the taxi administrative department where the issuing authority is located.
Are the application conditions for cruise car and online ride-hailing drivers the same?
According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Transport, according to the revised "Regulations on the Administration of Taxi Driver’s Qualifications", those who apply to participate in the taxi driver’s qualification examination shall meet the following conditions: Obtain a motor vehicle driver’s license of the corresponding approved driving type and have more than 3 years of driving experience; No traffic accident crime, dangerous driving crime record, no drug abuse record, no driving record after drinking alcohol, and no record of 12 points in the last 3 consecutive scoring periods; No violent criminal record; Other conditions stipulated by the urban people’s government. As a taxi driver, there is no difference in application conditions whether it is engaged in cruise or online booking service.
How can I provide relevant proof materials such as a non-violent criminal record?

Wang Hao, deputy director of the Highway Development Center of the Academy of Highway Sciences of the Ministry of Transport, said that this seems very inconvenient and will discourage many online ride-hailing drivers. But in fact, there is not much that individuals need to do. "Personal documents definitely need to be provided by individuals, but no criminal record and so on do not need to be provided by individuals. Individuals only need to promise no criminal record and so on. Whether it is true or not is a matter between the transportation department and the public security department."
What exactly is a non-violent criminal record?
In terms of criminal records, this regulation clearly states that there is a "no violent crime" record, not a "no criminal record". Lawyer Wang Yongjie, director of Beijing Zeyong Law Firm, introduced that a no-violent criminal record is a very clear legal concept. A no-violent criminal record specifically refers to a person who has no robbery, robbery, intentional homicide, intentional injury, rape, explosion and other crimes that endanger public safety. If it is only "criminal detention" or civil disputes, it is not a "violent crime". In addition, fraud is not included in violent crimes.

For example, cruise car drivers need to take the human geography test. Because all online taxi-hailing cars are equipped with navigation systems, there is no such requirement.
form
The written test is the main one, and there is no road test content.
