1k Views. The background check process for Uber specifically takes between 3 to 5 days; however the entire application process takes between 1 to 2 weeks. That is what i have seen in my experience.Take a look at our infographic if you have any more questions about the specifics..5k Views. Lyft takes about two weeks. Based on some of the Uber drivers I've encountered, I don't think they even do background checks. I had a driver from West Africa who told me he had only been in the US for less than a week.
