What do I need to sign up as a courier?

Before you can apply for rounds, Adhoc checks who you are, how you trade and what you drive. Sign-up takes eight short steps. Have these ready:

1. About you: your full name as it is written on your ID, your UK mobile number, and proof of your right to work in the UK, such as a share code letter, passport or biometric residence permit.
2. National Insurance number: two letters, six digits, then a letter, such as QQ 12 34 56 C. It is encrypted and only a reviewer sees it.
3. How you trade: sole trader or limited company. Read which to choose.
4. Tax reference: your 10-digit Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) if you are a sole trader, or your 8-character company number if you trade through a limited company.
5. Your van: its size and registration. Small carries 1 to 5 parcels, Medium 6 to 30 and Large 31 to 80. You can only take rounds your van is big enough for.
6. Vehicle deposit: a one-off deposit of £1. Read about the deposit.
7. Vehicle insurance: your certificate of motor insurance. It must cover hire and reward, and be in date.
8. Photo ID: your driving licence or passport. Uploading it sends your application for review.

Uploading documents

A clear photo from your phone is fine. You can upload a PDF, JPEG, PNG, HEIC, HEIF or WEBP file of up to 10MB. Make sure every corner is in shot and nothing is hidden by glare.
