Massachusetts Drivers: Upload Your CORI Certificate

New regulations now require drivers in Massachusetts to pass a CORI background check performed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities (DPU).

You'll need a Background Check Clearance Certificate to give rides at Boston Logan Airport. To avoid citations, upload your certificate to the Driver Dashboard.

Look for an email with the following information:

  • Sender: “Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities [donotreply@massdpu.com](mailto:donotreply@massdpu.com)

  • Subject Line: “Background Check Clearance Certificate” If you’ve given consent to run your CORI background check, but haven’t heard back from the DPU, hang tight! You can keep giving rides while waiting for your CORI background check results.

The DPU is releasing CORI background checks results on a rolling basis, so the DPU may still processing yours.

Thanks for helping us stay compliant in Massachusetts.
