Hi,
I don't remember if I have received an email from upwork.
In my account, I have a simple "Get an Identity Verified badge to help build trust with your clients. Learn more."
Is that a requirement, an obligation or just an invitation?
Thank you.

I got a notice earlier this week that I'd have to get the certified ID badge as of some point in August.
I went ahead and did it - it took all of five minutes.

Thanks, Will. I was verified a year ago and it took may be 10 mn but what I wanted to know is if I am obliged to do it or not.

Eric,
The message I got last week included the following:
QUOTE
Starting in August, we'll be gradually contacting freelancers like you and requiring them to earn the Identity Verified Badge.
Once notified, you will have 7 days to successfully complete the process, after which your account will be placed on hold until it's complete.
UNQUOTE
That sounds like it will soon be mandatory.

Thanks, Will, you're right: soon!

Hi Eric,
The account notification you're referring to confirms that your account is eligible for the ID verification badge, it isn't a requirement.
Thank you.
