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 guys, I'm a newcomer. As I just created my account a few days ago, I want to verify my identity to submit proposals. However, it keeps showing "We are unable to complete ID verification at this time. Please contact support by visiting the Upwork Help Center to resolve this issue." everytimes I hit the "Get started" button. Been trying this for days.

Any ideas to help?

Thanks.

Hi The Phon,

 

I checked and you should be able to click on the Continue button to complete visual verification. Could you please try clearing your cache and cookies or logging in with a different browser to see if the issue persists? If the button is still greyed out please let us know.

the same. I clicked on the continue button and another box appear but in the end the caution "We are unable to complete ID verification at this time. Please contact support by visiting the Upwork Help Center to resolve this issue".

Hi There, 

 

I am trying to help set up someone new to UPWORK. 

 

My question is:

When do you do the visual verification?

Do you have to be invited to be verified? If yes, how do you get the invitation?

Do you need to get your first job first?

As some information says you have to get verified first and then on another post I read that you need to be notified to be verified? I really need a detailed accurate answer, please.

 

Thanking you.

Hello,
The visual verification is one steps of account verification process. You can do it after being alerted to verify your account.
You will get the request to verify your account by mail. It will also be seen on top of your profile(find job page).
You need to complete your first project before upwork send you the request to verify your account.
Thanks,
Bruno
