Car Licensing & Roadworthiness Made Simple

At Bolt, we’ve streamlined our onboarding process to make it easier and faster for you to get started as a driver. You no longer need to submit a separate Double Disc (Car License + Roadworthy) to onboard. Only one document is now required: your cARscan vehicle inspection report, which includes a scan of your license disc.
