You cannot join this team until the client adds a complete address. Please wait until the client do

Hi

 

I get the error "You cannot join this team until the client adds a complete address. Please wait until the client does so." when trying to hire a freelancer. I already have my address on file and on file with my payment credit card.

 

What's happening?

 

How do I fix it?

 

Thanks,

 

Rob

For those looking for the solution off of Google:

Under Settings > My Info > Company Contacts Address is the part that the client needs to fill out.

In my case, the client had said they filled out their address, but they had filled out the tax form address.

HI Saliya,

 

I wasn't able to see the offer you're referring to on my end. Can you click on my name and send me a PM with a screenshot of what you see so I can assist you further?

Hi-

The contractor I'm trying to hire is saying they are getting the error "You cannot join this team until the client adds a complete address. Please wait until the client does so." I already have my address on file and on file with my payment credit card.

 

What's happening and how do I fix it?

 

Thank you,

Hi Hannah,

 

I checked and it does look like you need to add your address in Settings > My Info > Company contacts. Please have the freelancer try again after you've added your address and let us know if the issue persists.

Hello!

Also have a problem with accepting a task: "You cannot join this team until the client adds a complete address. Please wait until the client does so". The client says that he specified the address. Changing browser didn't help.

Hi Andrey,

 

Thank you for your message. The client will need to update their company information before you accept the offer. Please request the client to update their company details and address on the company settings page.

 

Thank you
