Following the new Home Office regulations, you need to confirm your Right to Work in the UK. Once your profile is activated and you go online, the Right to Work check will start, followed by a DVLA check when you go online again after the Right to Work check is completed. Once both checks are successful, you'll be able to receive booking requests.
