DoorDash's Dasher sign-up process allows individuals to become independent contractors by meeting minimum age and background requirements and passing identity verification, with most applications taking 10-15 minutes. New applicants can use the app immediately for restaurant orders, while waiting for the activation kit containing a Red Card for "Shop & Deliver" orders. For more details, visit DoorDash .
