Freelancer account with a company name

[5b568633]

Hi, I made a freelancer account on upwork with my company name as we are a team of professionals looking to offer services to clients on upwork.

While submitting my first proposal today, a pop-up showed up asking for verification that required me to attach an Govt. issued ID to the account.

Should I add my personal (individual) ID or will the company registration certificate will work too?

Also, let me know if putting my company name on freelancer account is fine or does it violate the rules and may end up blocking my ID?

Hi there, 

If you're looking to offer services on Upwork as a company, you'll need to create an Agency. Please note that your freelancer profile must represent you as an individual and that all the information in your profile needs to be accurate, truthful, and verifiable. I would suggest you update your profile information and upload your personal ID. The documents we accept include passport, national ID card (NIC/CNIC), driver's license, NBI Clearance (Philippines only), tax ID, voter ID, postal ID, or any other valid government-issued photo ID that meets these criteria.
