Edo state Documents
Document guide: Helping you with the right documents to upload
At Monochrome, we collect certain city-specific documents from drivers to ensure we remain fully compliant with local transport regulations in every area we operate. Each city may have different requirements such as e-hailing permits, municipal taxi licenses, transport union approvals, or driver identification cards, depending on local authorities. These documents help confirm that both the driver and vehicle are legally authorised to operate within that city. By collecting and verifying them, we protect our drivers from fines or suspensions, maintain the trust of our riders, and uphold Monochrome’s reputation as a safe, fully licensed, and professional ride-share service everywhere we operate.
One form of Identity document
We collect one form of government-issued identification, either a valid passport, national identity card, or NIN slip, to verify the identity of every driver on our platform. This is a key part of our safety and compliance process, ensuring that all drivers are who they say they are and meet regulatory requirements. The ID you submit must be clear, valid, and not expired. Expired or incomplete documents cannot be accepted. This verification step helps protect both drivers and passengers, maintaining trust, accountability, and security across the Monochrome network.
Valid Nigerian Drivers License
We collect driver’s licence details to ensure that every driver on our platform is legally certified to operate a vehicle and meets local regulatory requirements. Your licence must be valid, in date, and not expired at the time of submission — expired licences cannot be accepted. If you submit a temporary driver’s licence, you’ll be granted a limited period to provide your permanent card before your account is paused for verification. This process helps us maintain safety, compliance, and trust for both drivers and passengers across all cities where Monochrome operates.
Proof of Vehicle Ownership certificate
We collect a clear driver photograph that will be displayed to riders for easy identification and safety purposes. Your photo must show your full face clearly, with no sunglasses, hats, caps, or earpieces. The background should be plain and uncluttered, preferably light-coloured and the image must include the top of your shoulders. Avoid filters, dark lighting, or group photos. This helps ensure riders can easily recognise you when their trip begins, maintaining professionalism and trust across the Monochrome platform.
Road Worthiness or Inspection report
We collect a valid Road Worthiness Certificate or an inspection report from another approved ride-share operator within the last 12 months to ensure that every vehicle operating on our platform is safe, reliable, and meets regulatory standards. This process helps protect both drivers and riders by confirming that vehicles are mechanically sound and suitable for commercial use. The document must be clear, legible, and in date (not older than 12 months from the issue date). If you are submitting an inspection report from another operator, it must clearly display the vehicle registration number, inspection date, and confirmation of passed safety checks. Vehicles without a valid or verifiable roadworthiness record may not be activated until the proper documentation is received.

We collect a clear driver photograph that will be displayed to riders for easy identification and safety purposes. Your photo must show your full face clearly, with no sunglasses, hats, caps, or earpieces. The background should be plain and uncluttered, preferably light-coloured and the image must include the top of your shoulders. Avoid filters, dark lighting, or group photos. This helps ensure riders can easily recognise you when their trip begins, maintaining professionalism and trust across the Monochrome platform.
Proof of your bank account
Please upload a clear document that proves the bank account is yours. Acceptable examples are a recent mini-statement, a screenshot from your banking app (showing the account name), or a bank-issued letter. The important details we must see are: account holder name, account number, sort code (or bank routing number) and bank name. You may hide or blur sensitive items such as balances, transaction lines or card numbers
Clear Image of the Front View of Vehicle
Please upload a clear front-facing photo of your vehicle. This helps confirm your registration number, verify your vehicle’s condition, and ensure there are no unauthorised logos, stickers, or damage visible.
Clear Image of the Rear View of Vehicle
We ask for a clear photo of the rear of your vehicle to confirm your number plate, make, model, and colour. This also helps us check for any unauthorised stickers or damage before your vehicle goes live on Monochrome.
Clear Image of the Left Side View
Provide a full, clear photo of the left side of your vehicle. This helps us confirm the vehicle’s body condition, colour consistency, and absence of any external branding or unauthorised modifications.
Clear Image of the Right Side View
Submit a clear image of the right-hand side of your vehicle. This allows us to verify that the paintwork and panels are in good condition and that there are no unauthorised markings or damages.
Clear Image of the Back Seat Area
Take a photo of the rear passenger area of your vehicle. This ensures your interior is clean, safe, and comfortable for riders. We also check that the seatbelts and upholstery are in good condition.
Clear Image of the Front Cabin Area
Upload a clear image of the front cabin, including the driver and passenger seats. This helps confirm your dashboard and seating area are tidy, professional, and ready to welcome passengers.
