How To Sign Up For Walmart Spark Driver |
Signing Up: Buckle Up, Buttercup!

QuickTip: Read line by line if it’s complex.![]()
Here's the lowdown on what you'll need:
- To be 18 or older: We're not looking for any kiddos delivering diapers (unless it's their own...awkward family reunions?).
- A valid driver's license and a clean driving record: No Mario Kart-style shortcuts here, folks.
- A reliable vehicle with proof of insurance: Your trusty jalopy might have gotten you through college, but for Spark deliveries, you'll need something a little more, well, spark-tacular.
- A smartphone with a camera, GPS, and the ability to run the Spark Driver App: Because let's face it, paper maps and carrier pigeons are so last season.

- A working knowledge of Tetris: Packing efficiency is key when you're delivering everything from pool floats to pet food.
- A superhero cape (optional): Look, it's not required, but it wouldn't hurt when that customer forgets they ordered 5 cases of bottled water.
