-
Create your DiDi account

Typical estimate About 5 minutes
-
Log in to DiDi
Real apps ask you to confirm your email and often turn on two-step login. Never reuse a password from another site, and only ever type it on the real site.
Typical estimate A minute

Complete your DiDi profile
Your profile is your shop window: photo, headline, skills and price. Riders compare it with everyone else's before they pick you.
Typical estimate 30 to 60 minutes plus vehicle documents
-
ID and background check
