Upload documents and request missing files

Use the Files tab and the driver’s secure one-time upload page without confusing a file upload with a signed consent.

Open the Files tab

Open the application, then select Files. Review the filename and type before opening or downloading a document. Generated application and consent documents can appear alongside manually uploaded driver records.

Send the driver a secure request

  1. Verify the applicant’s email address on the application.
  2. In Files select Request Files.
  3. Read the confirmation, titled Request Driver’s License and Medical Card.
  4. Confirm only when you intend to email the driver.

The app creates and emails a secure upload link for that application. The link is one-time use and expires after 14 days. A missing driver email prevents the request; if sending fails, the app shows an error rather than treating the request as successfully delivered.

Opening the confirmation is not the same as sending the request. A successful send adds an activity entry so your team can see that the request was issued.

What the driver sees

The driver opens the link from their email and uploads the requested driver-license and medical-card files on the secure upload page. The files are stored on the associated application, so staff can return to Files to review them. The upload page does not require the driver to use a staff account.

A used link or an expired link displays its corresponding state. Ask the recruiting team for a new Request Files email instead of forwarding another driver’s link or attempting to alter the URL. Keep the link private because it belongs to the specific request and application.

For each upload row, choose Document Type (Driver’s License or Medical Card) and Choose File. Add rows for additional files, up to ten in one submission, and follow the maximum file size displayed on the page. A phone may offer camera capture; desktop browsers may show only a file picker. Select Upload Files once all intended files are ready.

Successful uploads add files to the application, record activity and notify the company’s admins in-app and by email.
