Location Selection Expanding to UK Clients

[Patricia C]

Hi,

I'm trying to get verified as a UK freelancer but I'm originally Spanish so I don't have a UK passport or driving license.

Is there a way to get verified showing my tenancy agreement or bills to my name from a UK address?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply Bojan. However, the link you sent me is glitchy and I can't open a ticket. How should we proceed?

Hi,

I am located in London (UK) but since I am Italian I don't have a UK passport or UK driving licence. How can I verify that I am located here?

Does this mean that I cannot apply for any jobs here in Uk??

Hope somebody can help.

Best,

Paola

Hi guys, My client ask for location verification but I neither have a British passport and drive license. Instead, I can provide my visa to prove I am a resident in the UK. Where can I send this? The current job proposal page doesn't accept any other documents other than a passport and drivers licence.

I'm looking for people in the same position as me  - it's similar to this thread) as I do not possess a passport or driving licence as I have not applied as I won't be able to afford a car / to go anywhere at the moment  (hence me using this site).

I live in the UK so there are most of the alternative options don't apply (such as National IDs which have been scrapped here).

If I don't have any ID that contains a photograph how do I get around being verified? I've submitted ticket after ticket in regards to this but continue to just get the same copy and paste statements that look like this

• This ID must include your picture, signature, name, date of birth, and address, with the exception of passports, which don't need your address
• Acceptable documents include passport, national ID card (NIC/CNIC), driver's license, NBI Clearance (Philippines only), tax ID, voter ID, postal ID, or any other valid government-issued photo ID that meets these criteria

Normally I upload a birth certificate and a bank statement which works for PayPal and buying 18+ products. I've even uploaded those documents here in the ticket but they weren't even acknowledged.

I was wondering if there was anyone in the same position, and how you got around it? Or is it a question of losing my account here and trying to start over on another site?
