Amazon Flex requirements in 2026
Last reviewed: August 30, 2026
Amazon Flex pays for scheduled delivery blocks from Amazon logistics sites. The bar is higher than most food apps: 21 or older and a 4-door midsize vehicle. Many cities keep a Join List instead of open signup.
Core eligibility
- 21 years or older
- Valid U.S. driver’s license
- Social Security number
- Personal auto insurance meeting local requirements
- Bank account for payouts
- Smartphone with the Amazon Flex app
Vehicle rules
Use a 4-door midsize sedan or larger. SUVs, vans, and covered trucks are the usual fits. Smaller cars and open-bed trucks are called out by Amazon as not qualifying. Confirm your vehicle during the official app onboarding — do not invent a workaround with a borrowed account.
Background check and onboarding
Amazon Flex screens driving and criminal history and verifies your identity with a physical license. Complete onboarding promptly if you receive an invitation after Join List — spots are limited.
Official apply path only
Download the Amazon Flex app from flex.amazon.com. Ignore third parties selling “instant activation” or account rentals.

What if my city is full?
If Amazon Flex is not actively onboarding in your area, the app shows Join List. Add yourself there and wait for an official email. We do not publish skip-waitlist methods.
