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 Siva,

 

It doesn't look like you need to verify your account yet. Please know that verification cannot be requested. If the team finds the need to verify your account, you will be notified through an email, or through a notification in your account with more information on how you can complete the verification process

Hi my name is nikko, i'm from the philippines. im having trouble with the identiy verification. The only id i have right now is an expired Philippine Passport, and my PhilHealth id. I cannot renew my passport yet since we are in an Enhance Community Quarantine (Lockdown). I wonder if upwork will be considerate to accept my Passport and i'm willing to go on a call if ever needed so that they can verify that the expired passport is authentic. this is my first time working in upwork and i didn't know that i need a valid id since my passport was accepted in other freelancing platform. i hope upwork can consider my concern. thanks in advance.

Just wait until somebody asks you for verification. Not likely to happen until your profile pic is a representation of yourself.

Hi all,

 

For identity verification, I have uploaded a government Id card that is scanned by the scanner and has the best quality. Even after it get rejected, I have uploaded three types of identity several times in different formats. The team is rejecting it every time. Can anyone help with this?

Take a photo of your NID card, and send them without making any changes. [Don't scan it, cause they didn't tell you to do this.]

Sultan, It happens sometime. You may wait for a few minutes. Use Chrome browser, clear your history  and restart your system at that time. Problem will be solved.
