Upwork won't let me change my country.... ?

[Valeria K]

Annachiara,

Did you enter your birth date when signing up?

I also noticed that you created two accounts on Upwork. Only one account per user is allowed, so please close all but one account. Let us know if you need help closing an account.

[Annachiara B]

Yes I did.
I’m not sure how to close my account

Hi Annachiara,

Please let me know if you can follow the steps shared in this Help article and if you were able to close your account.

Hi Annachiara,

It looks like your location was selected incorrectly at the sign up. I've updated it for you.

Hi Valeria,

I'm struggling with a similar issue. Any way I could get assistance in changing it from Canada to Zimbabwe?

Hi Buhle,

Your country is now updated, thank you.

I started building my Upwork profile, but I made the mistake of putting USA as my country when I currently live in Mexico City and will be living here indefinitely. I can't verify my phone number because I have a Mexican phone number so the code is +52 rather than +1. I am a US citizen with a US bank account so I put the USA originally. How do I change my country to Mexico so I can continue building my profile? I have looked up going to settings to change it, but I don't have that option as I have not completed my profile and verified it with a phone number (I don't  have a US phone so I can't do this).

Hi Cristalan,

I went ahead and updated your location information so it reflects Mexico as your country. You should be able to complete your profile now but let us know if you run into any further issues.

Thank you.

Hi Valeria,

I'm having a similar problem to Cristalan. I put down USA as my country (as my bank and tax information are there) but am currently living in South Korea. Could you please help me change my country so I'm able to verify my account?

Thank you so much~
