What documents do you absolutely need to translate and what visa do you need to work for Uber Eats in Australia? A guide for migrants in 2025.

Just arrived in Australia and looking to earn money quickly? Working with Uber Eats might be a great solution to get started, especially if you're still settling in and don’t have local work experience. Many migrants find this platform a quick, flexible, and legal way to earn money, get familiar with the city, and practice English. But... where do you start?

At Entrelingo, we’ll explain step by step how to register to work with Uber Eats in Australia, what you need legally, what documents you must translate before applying, and how to avoid delays or rejections. We’ll also show you how to do it quickly, safely, and 100% valid with Entrelingo, where we’ve already helped thousands of migrants like you.

Can I work for Uber Eats if I am a migrant?

Yes, but not all visas allow it. Uber Eats does not hire employees directly: you operate as an independent contractor, which means you need a visa that allows you to work on your own (self-employed)

✅ Visas that do allow you to work with Uber Eats in 2025:

• Student Visa (subclass 500) → With a limit of 48 hours per fortnight.

• Temporary Graduate Visa (subclass 485).

• Partner or Spouse Visa (subclass 820/801 or 309/100).

• Temporary Work Visa (subclass 482) or sponsored visa.

• Permanent Residency or Australian Citizenship.
  

❌ Visas that do NOT allow it:

• Tourist Visa (subclass 600).

• Visitor or eVisitor Visa.

• Any visa without work rights.
  

Before registering on the app, make sure your visa allows you to work as an independent contractor. If you have doubts, ask! If Uber detects that you don’t meet this requirement, your account will be blocked.

What documents do you need to translate to register for Uber Eats?

Once you confirm that you can work legally, Uber Eats will request several documents, and if they are in another language (like Spanish), you must translate them into English with a NAATI-certified translator.

The most common documents you must translate are:

• Driver’s license (if not in English): ✔️ Required to work for Uber Eats if you use a motorcycle or car. ✔️ Also useful if you only use a bicycle: sometimes they ask for identity verification.

• Passport: (if it includes information in several languages or annotations)

• Police Check Certificates: ✔️ Uber will ask you to complete a Police Check, but if you already have one from your home country, it can be useful for other processes (and it must be translated).

• Visa or grant notification documents: ✔️ Some platforms require additional verification of your immigration status.
  

Why must translations be NAATI-certified?

Because in Australia, only official translations made by NAATI-certified translators (National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters) are accepted.

This applies not only to Uber Eats but also to:

• Visa processes.

• University applications.

• Getting an Australian driver’s license.

• Employment contracts or references.

• Insurance registration.
  

If your translation is not NAATI-certified, you could waste valuable time and see your application rejected for invalid documents.
