ID Badge Verification

Hi guys I have changed sucesfully verfied my ID but have failed selfie verification lol, my selfie has a beard, my profile pic doesnt lol can anyone help me out pleaseeee

ACCEPTED SOLUTION

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 Upwork,

 

I've provided my identity verification document 3 times but, it's showing an error. I've only 2 days remaining to verify my ID. What can I do to solve it?

 

It shows "We’re unable to process your ID at this time. You may be able to add your ID again later."

 

What does it mean?

Hi Muhammad, 

 

I checked your account and it looks like our team reached out to you already about your ID verification. Please check your ticket by logging in to your account and going here. The same information was also sent to the email address associated with your Upwork account.

Hi.
I am in identity verification process and I have read the requirements.
My government issued ID has my address on it's backside. And you can only upload one file.
What to do?

Hi Zaya,


Feel free to upload the front of your ID. If additional information is needed, our team will reach out to you with more details. Thank you.

Hi.
I have tried as you have instructed and it is still saying unable to process.
I am running out of time.
Could you please send me an 1-1 support.

Hi Zaya,

 

It looks like you've only entered your last name initial, which is what's causing the problem, and having your full name is required. You will need to update your name by going to Settings > Contact Info and then resubmit your ID. Feel free to check here to learn more. 

 

Thank you,

Hi, there is a pop-up message that says that  I need to verify my identity until Nov. 18, 2021. I tried submitting other government IDs because I don't have the IDs listed. Unfortunately, it was not accepted. Is there any way I can verify my identity? I am afraid that my account will be placed on hold.

It has been hard dealing with things during with the pandemic and the requirements that I need to verify my account is not such an easy item to acquire considering the circumstances.

 

I'm wondering if I can still log-in to this account even after being put on-hold and verify it when I get the requirements that I need?

 

 

Responses are highly appreciated.

Hi Kym,

 

Thank you for your message.

 

Yes, you can still continue with ID verification from this link.

 

Thank you.

Im seeking assistance from team upwork
A step by step explanation or a evaluation of my profile or maybee setting an online meeting to confirm it.
I will be glad for any kind of help and i will be waiting your reply

Hi Elghoul,

 

I checked and it doesn't look like you are required to complete any verification process at the moment. 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.

Hello,

I made a mistake of using a nickname rather than my legal name on the government-issued ID.

I already changed my profile name to the actual legal name, but I still cannot get my identity verified when I upload a government-issued ID card.

 

Help!

Hi Seongbeom,

 

I can see that one of our agents reached out to you directly via a support ticket with more information. Kindly refer to it and feel free to follow up with them if you have questions.

 

Thank you,

They still cannot help much. The problem is:

"Please Note: It is important that you submit the ID document for [[Sam Kim]]. The date of birth and name should be visible in the document."

 

I tried changed my profile name to Seongbeom Kim, and the new name is reflected, except in the verification page, where it says "The ID you upload must have the same name [[Sam Kim]] and date of birth entered below."

 

What do I do?

I tried following an article which led me to this link: https://www.upwork.com/ab/identity-verification/

But the issue is that the link is broken. I tried it in a private browser as well, but it didn’t work.

Hi Goran,


I do understand that, but I want to be able to send proposals which convert. I’m going to have to put sending out proposals on hold until I get my verification badge. How do I go about getting y verification badge and getting clients?
