EU citizen based in UK not able to verify location

[Adriana S]

Hello everyone,

I've recently joined UpWork and while trying to verify my UK location, I've realized there are only two official ways to do so: with a British passport or a British driving license. The problem is I have none of these. I have bank statements, work agreements and tenancy agreements. Is there any way that I could verify my location with one of these?

Thank you, much appreciated.

I'm trying to respond to jobs in the UK. I am French. I live in London. I don't drive a car as it's pointless in London. I've been living here for 10 years+, and have the settled status alongside my French passport. How can I apply for jobs in my country if only UK passports or UK driving licences are accepted?

Hi, I would appreciate some advice on how to proceed. I need to verify my location using ID. I do not have a passport nor do I have a valid driving license (it is out of date by about 10 years). What I do have is a government-issued voting ID card that has my photo on it along with my name. I have tried to submit this but the only two options is either under Passport or Driving license and neither accepts this photo ID. Can someone please help me find where I can upload my ID? Please and thank you.
