Uber: Account sharing / someone else on your account deactivation appeal

What this deactivation means

Uber believes another person drove or delivered on your profile. That breaks background-check integrity, so it's treated as a safety violation and leans permanent. False flags happen: a new phone, a household member's rider account, a sold car, or the system wrongly thinking you have two accounts.

Where and when to appeal

Channel
In-app Review Center, the only official appeal channel. Not email, phone, or a Greenlight Hub visit.
Deadline
No public deadline; submit as soon as you have your evidence.
Decision time
Typically 3 to 7 business days, tracked in the Review Center. Don't follow up before ~3 days.

The evidence that moves this reason

  • Your Real-Time ID Check (selfie) pass history
  • Single-device login records
  • GPS patterns consistent with your normal driving area and hours
  • A plain explanation of whatever triggered the flag

What actually works

Prove the account never left your hands. Point to every selfie ID check you passed during that time, and name what really caused the flag (a new phone, a shared wifi, logging in from home). A plain 'I never shared it' isn't enough; connect your proof to the exact trips they flagged.

Be realistic: platforms rarely reverse this one. Your appeal needs strong proof of what really caused it, not an apology or a plea.
