What Bolt Food asks for
From Bolt’s South African courier page, checked 25 October 2026:
- Age: of legal age, shown with a valid photo ID.
- Vehicle: Bolt’s page lists a bicycle, scooter or car. It doesn’t mention motorbikes, so check in the sign-up that yours is accepted in your city.
- Licence and insurance: for your vehicle, where the law needs them.
- Phone: Android 9 or newer, or iOS 12 or newer, with a local phone number.
- Bank account: to receive your weekly pay.
How to sign up: Register on Bolt’s courier page with your name, city and phone number, upload your documents, then collect your Bolt Food bag once they’re verified.
Requirements change. Check the app’s own page before you apply.
