Maryland State TNO License

Maryland law requires every rideshare driver in Maryland to obtain a Transportation Network Operator (TNO) license, and Lyft submits applications on behalf of those drivers to the Maryland Public Service Commission. You will not be eligible to do pickups in Maryland without a TNO license, and your ability to obtain one will be impacted if you do not have a REAL ID driver's license.

To get on the road obtain a REAL ID driver’s license at your local DMV, and then upload it to your driver profile. You can find more information about REAL IDs from your resident state’s website.
