Apply for Wave partner certification in Durham. Wave's published client roster includes Duke University; certification here is the same documented identity, document, and background-check review used in every Wave market.
Credentialing and network access, not a job offer. Certification does not guarantee rides, routes, hours, leads, or income.
Durham’s anchor institution is a Wave client. What that does — and does not — mean for a certified partner is spelled out in full, in plain terms.
Duke University appears on Wave's published client roster alongside the Charlotte Hornets, Advocate Health, and MeckEd. That is a record of the organizations Wave works with — not a referral channel, an endorsement of any partner, or a promise of trips.
Durham applicants complete the same identity, license, vehicle, and background-check review as Charlotte and Atlanta. No local shortcut, no separate product, no priority queue.
Certification gives you a verified profile, a public directory listing, and access to the Wave Partner Network — proof of professionalism clients can check.
Certification is your entry to the Wave Partner Network: a verified profile, a public listing, and eligibility to be offered work — never a promise of it.
Every applicant follows the same application, consent, payment, and background-check path. Market pages do not create separate products or priority queues.
Choose a market and role, then provide identity, license, vehicle, and capability details.
Review the partner agreement, acknowledge the no-guarantee terms, and choose one canonical membership path.
After background-check clearance and operational review, an eligible credential can become active.
You control your application, documented capabilities, availability, and whether to accept an offered opportunity. Wave does not promise market volume.
Or $199 for the year. Both prices include your background check — there is no separate background-check fee. Activation still requires background-check clearance. Months and years already billed are non-refundable; cancel any time to stop future billing.
No. Certification provides an active credential, directory listing, and access to the Wave network. Trip availability depends on market demand, timing, eligibility, and client requirements.
Many checks return in three to five business days, but timing varies by provider, jurisdiction, and whether more information is needed. Wave does not promise a fixed activation date.
Wave follows its background-check review and adverse-action process. You receive the required notices and an opportunity to dispute inaccurate report information before a final decision is made.
Certification pricing is separate from trip compensation. The payout and any applicable deductions are disclosed with an opportunity before you decide whether to accept it.
Applying as a company? Use the existing corporate enrollment path so seats, background checks, and billing stay attached to one company account.
Join the Wave Partner Network — the professional community of certified operators.
Become eligible to be offered rideshare and delivery work. Eligibility is not a guarantee of volume or income.
University, hospital, and clinical sites set their own access, credentialing, and parking rules. Those are separate from Wave certification and are not granted by it.
Wave currently focuses on scheduled transportation rather than always-on, on-demand work.
Applicants can also document catering and routed-delivery equipment and experience during review.
Vehicle documentation and inspection requirements may apply before driving. Any applicable cost must be disclosed before you authorize it.
Yes. The application supports rideshare, catering delivery, or both. Your approved capabilities determine which opportunities you may be eligible to receive.
No. Membership is credentialing and network access, not employment, and it does not create an independent-contractor relationship with Wave. Any resulting engagement is entered into independently with the third party offering it.
At signup. Your first payment is taken when you enroll, and it covers your background check as well as your membership. Monthly memberships renew monthly and annual memberships renew yearly, until you cancel.
One all-in price covering Wave Partner membership and your background check — there is no separate background-check fee. Optional add-ons, such as drug screening, are shown separately before you authorize payment.
