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

[58f1df19]

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

Hi Ni,

I'm sorry to hear about that. Could you please send me a private message with more information about the client so that I can check why they're receiving the error?

Please make sure that your client added all the details in the Settings > My info > Company contacts section.

Thank you.

same problem - Client says he can't hire me...

Hey Scott, How are you?

I am attempting to hire you on upwork but a error notification appears when I submit the hire approval. "You cannot join this team until the client adds a complete address. Please wait until the client does so."

Something on your end needs to be done before I can send my hire approval.

I have this problem and clearing cache and cookies doesn't help. I have tried reaching out through chatbot and I am stuck in an endless loop of nothing.

Hi Victor-Antonio,

I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with this. It looks like this is something that needs to be resolved on your client's end. Please, let them know they can reach out to us directly here or contact support and we'll be happy to help! 

[0be268cf]

Upwork should send an automatic email to the person that needs to update their address as it was quite difficult to figure out what was wrong. The person I was trying to hire found this Q&A which helped me fix the issue. Thanks

Hi Pradeep,

I'm having the same issue, as I see the error when trying to accept an offer. I have asked the client to take the steps mentioned here to resolve the issue, but I'm worried that if this still does not resolve they might need direct assistance.

The client is relatively new on the platform, and experiencing this on their first hire.

Could you please assist? Thank you.

[david_at_monster · Accepted solution]

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.

[aa7d5859]

Can anyone help me I'm also experiencing this error now and can't accept the offer on my end Thanks

[759e32fa]

Hi Jeremiah,

Could you please request the client to update their company details and address on the company settings page before you accept the offer?

[9e04bedd]

Or, maybe Upwork should improve the UI to collect this info so it doesn't slow us down when we go to award our first contract. Clearly the UI is creating plenty of tickets. 

[d0292c04]

What address specially are you wanting me to provide?

[AndreaG]

Hi Serena,

You'll need to add your physical address where you're conducting your work from.

[1d4a5f60]

Hi there, 

I am also having the same issue yet my employer is telling me that they have completed the address section. I would really appreciate some help on this. 

Thanks so much!

Hi Brenna,

Could you please log into your account and kindly go to your settings and update your company's contact details? If the issue persists after completing this step, please let us know. 

[fe53a0f6]

I've seen this problem on my last two contracts. Why is it incumbent upon me as the freelancer to report this error to the client?

Simple solution: clients should not be able to submit a job without first submitting their address. Easy. Done. Upwork, please make this change. 

[78d5a4f2]

Hello, I am trying to accept an offer and I keep getting this error 'You cannot join this team until the client adds a complete address. Please wait until the client does so.' I told the client to update the contact following the recommendation from the previous posts (Settings > My Info > Company contacts > and your full address.) The client informed me that everything is in order.

I have waited 12 hours and have not gotten a response to the submitted ticked. Kindly help to look into this. Thanks

[de9ca108]

Hi Fahad,
