Hi Get,

 

If you are eligible or required to receive an “Identity Verified” badge, you can complete the two stages by going to Identity Verification in your Settings.

 

You may be asked to complete a visual verification and provide a valid government-issued ID. Acceptable documents 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.

 

Note that we occasionally ask users to re-verify because periodic checks ensure their accounts continue to reflect accurate information. Our goal is to make this process as seamless as possible and we thank you for your contribution to keeping Upwork a professional and safe community.



If you don't see a way to verify, that may be because you're not eligible yet. Please know that verification cannot be requested, but is slowly being rolled out to all talent. If the team finds the need to verify your account, you will be notified through an email, or through a notification in your account.

Hi Mary Grace,

 

The acceptable forms of ID vary by country and will be listed on the form. You should be able to submit your tax ID and if our team needs any additional information they reach out o you directly.

 

Thank you!

Hey, Bengisu.

 

Verification ID on Upwork requires 2 steps to complete:

1- Provide a valid government-issued ID

2- Complete a visual verification

 

You may need to check this article:

I read the article. Thanks. but there is no "identity verification" in my profile settings.

Hi Bengisu,

 

This is expected behavior since you're still not eligible for this ID Verification Badge. Once we notify you that you are eligible or required to earn the badge, you will be able to access the Identity Verification tab in your Settings and complete the two stages of this process. 

 

Thank you!

It'll be rather difficult to verify that you are the person in your profile picture, no?


Your profile picture must be a photo of yourself.

I just checked out your profile.

 

Your profile fails to properly indicate what services you provide. Consider revamping it a bit if you want to win any jobs.

 

Hope it helps.

Yes, you need to win a job first. Then you will be required to verify your identity.

No, he was giving you misinformation.


Your verification will fail because (obviously) it can't be verified that you are the person in your profile picture.


Wait to be contacted with the next steps.

Her profile does not show any contracts in progress, so how? Maybe it hasn't been updated.

It doesn't matter. Upwork can ask to verify at any time, especially when a profile is in violation of the rules like the OPs. There doesn't have to be a contract.

I have a contract in progress now.

Can i still do that? When i waiting for notification from upwork?

Hi Laniqua,

 

We won't be able to provide specific information since this depends on many factors. I would like to let you know that only earning freelancers are eligible/required to earn the “Identity Verified” badge.

 

If you become eligible/required, we will notify you when you log into your Upwork account.

ID has been submitted on 2/8 and is still under reviewing, though it says would "take up to 1 business day".  Is it normal? Should I contact someone? Thank you!

Hi Yi,

 

I've checked with the team and they've confirmed that the review has been completed, you should now see the ID Verification Badge on your account. Don't hesitate to let us know if you need further assistance.
