Action Required: identity verification video call

[Sohel P]

I'm getting the following notification message on my upwork dashboard.

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.

Please, can anyone advise me about this notification.

You need to verify your identity by a video call with a Upwork's agent. 

Follow their instruction, your account should be fine.

It is very strange that just a month ago you actually gave ADVICE on just such a situation in another thread....

How come?

Hi Sohel,

Please follow the instructions shared in your support ticket to verify your profile.

Thank you.

Hi

i've done this verification years ago ! and there is no harm to do it again !!

but the problem is i followed the link in the notification plus i discussed this with an agent from help center who gave me the same link again :  "https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us?action=verify-profille " which leads directly to Upwork Help Center home page and nothing happen !

this is starting to make me loose time ! and in the same time am worried if i ignore it, it may result to """further restrictions""" later on

Please advise.

Thank you

Hi Wasfi,

I'm sorry about the time needed to complete your verification, let's see if we can speed it up a bit. Once you click on the link you shared and land in the Help Center, check if you see your name in the upper-right corner, scroll down and click the Verify My Profile button. A chat window should appear and an agent will soon follow up to help you initiate the video call, speak for a couple of minutes and complete the verification process. Let me know if you can follow these steps and if you need further assistance.

Thank you Vlad !

my name is there ( i am logged in) but there is no such button !

one of the agent told me to clear the browser cache and cookies which i did ! NADA !! rien ! Nothing happen

am even wondering why Upwork is asking me this after all these years (my account is verified and 100%.... )

[Wasfi H]

ok, i just tested the thing on a different web browser and i've seen the verification butoon shown up for i don't know 1 seconde and dissapear !!!!

am giving up on this !! sorry have work to do

Hi Wasfi,

I checked and do also see the button is disappearing after the help Center page loads. I'll ask our Technical team to investigate and follow up with you with an update. I apologize for the inconvenience and can assure you no action will be taken against your profile in the meantime for not completing the verification process.
