Testing video chat profile verification

[Paula B]

I received an email 3 days ago notifying me that my account was placed on hold for quality review and that I needed to submit documents to verify my identity.

I immediately submitted the required documents. A few minutes later I received an email from Upwork stating that my documents had been received and accepted for approval. There was also a button within the email that stated "Start Submitting Proposals". I clicked on the link only to see that my account is still on hold and I cannot submit a proposal.

I have been in contact with chat representatives on 2 separate occassions. Both informed me that they were "escalating" my issue to the right department and someone would contact me. I haven't received an email from anyone.

My account is still on hold. I have verified my identity AND it has been successfully accepted by Upwork. It has been 3 days and I still cannot submit proposals. Can anyone explain the hold-up?

Thanks,

Paula

Action required: To avoid additional account restrictions, you must complete your identity verification video call with Upwork. You can initiate this call by chatting with an agent here.

Hi!

May i ask how to do an identity verification video call with Upwork? I can't find it in my account.

Kindly guide me on this please.

Thank you.

You don't do the identity verification video call until you are invited to do so.

Hi Kristine,
Upwork would email you regarding the video call process and there is no way to find it on your account unless they invite you through the email.

How long is the waiting time? I cannot send proposal due to account restrictions.

Hi Kristine,
If Upwork Customer Support have invited you for the video verification call, you can find the link in Your Request list (Ticket list).
