ID verification

[Marshall B]

I'm having trouble verifying my identity. Each time I upload a picture of my driver's license I get an error that states "We had some trouble verifying your ID". I have tried a number of different pictures with no success.

When I went to submit a support ticket I got all the way through, but was left on a dialog title "Please Select a Channel" which only had a close button and it didn't seem like the ticket was submitted.

Would someone be able to help me get verified?

Thanks

HI,

I'm also having trouble verifying my ID. I type my name and hit next and when I go to upload my picture i hit open on my file and nothing happens. I thought maybe it was my picture so I've tried scanning it on my printer and taking a picture on my phone and can't get it to upload at all.

I'm having this same problem. I've tried two different browsers.  Uploaded my ID several times but nothing happens.

Hi!

I am located in NYC but i do not have a driver's license.

Can my student ID do the trick? or greencard?

Please let me know!

Yujin,

Unfortunately we cannot verify your location via a student ID or greencard at this time. In order to submit proposals to “U.S. Only” job posts, you must upload a valid state ID or driver’s license. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes.

My PA drivers license has a security area into which my name strikes over thereby preventing your ID verification to work. Suggestions?

Hi Susan,

I private messaged you a link where you can directly upload your ID for approval.
