Six steps, in the order that saves you money. Most people do steps three and four the wrong way round and pay for it.

Current and in your name. If yours has lapsed, renewing it comes before everything else.
Owning means no rent but all the maintenance; attaching means rent or a revenue share. Read the own-car route before committing money either way.
Permit, commercial insurance and a PSV badge where it applies, through the Punjab State Transport Department (RTA SAS Nagar). Doing this afterwards is how people end up with a car they cannot legally use for fares — see the Punjab PSV guide.
Licence, RC, insurance, Aadhaar or PAN. The document checklist lists what gets applications rejected.
Download the GediGoo Driver app on Google Play and upload the four documents. Registration and verification cost nothing.
Your first week is really about learning Zirakpur's demand pattern. That knowledge outperforms any incentive scheme.
Zirakpur packs housing societies, malls and two national highways into a very small area, so the work here is short trips repeating often rather than long trips occasionally. VIP Road and Peer Muchalla stay busy from early evening until late.
Zirakpur is busy and the highway junctions take some learning, but trips are short — a beginner completes more rides per hour here than anywhere else, which is the fastest way to get comfortable with the app.

GediGoo charges drivers nothing to join, nothing to be verified and nothing monthly. There is no agent in Zirakpur who can speed up an approval for a fee, because there is no queue to jump. Registration-fee scams are common in driver recruitment — the rule that protects you is simple: a legitimate platform takes its share out of fares you have already earned, never out of your pocket up front.
Free to join · 5% commission · your own hours · rides across the Tricity.
