Medical and psychological tests for Uber and Bolt drivers

Updated: 12 November 2026

Who needs them

Every driver who carries passengers in a car — as a taxi or through Uber, Bolt and FreeNow. The requirement comes from the Polish Road Transport Act (art. 39j and 39k). Your fleet partner checks both certificates before connecting your accounts.

Medical test (badanie lekarskie)

• Done by a doctor authorised to examine drivers — usually at an occupational medicine clinic (medycyna pracy).
• The doctor checks your eyesight, hearing, blood pressure and general health, then issues a certificate that you are fit to work as a driver.
• Bring an ID, your driving licence and glasses or contact lenses if you use them.

Psychological test (psychotesty)

• Done by a transport psychologist at a pracownia psychologii transportu.
• It usually takes one to two hours: reaction time, coordination, perception and concentration tests, questionnaires and a short interview.
• Come rested and unhurried — tiredness is what most often spoils the result.

How often

Both tests are repeated every 5 years, and after age 60 every 30 months. Watch the date: you may not carry passengers with an expired certificate.

What they cost

The fee for a driver’s psychological test is set by the Minister of Health: it was 150 zł, and from mid-November 2026 it is 200 zł (Dz.U. 2026 poz. 1434). The clinic sets the price of the medical test. Optymist refunds 100% of both tests.

The fastest way

1. Find a clinic that does both tests in one place — then it all takes one day.
2. Book by phone or online.
3. After the tests, send photos of the certificates to your Optymist manager.
