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 Prajwal,

 

It doesn't look like you need to verify your account yet. Please know that verification cannot be requested, but is slowly being rolled out to users of Upwork. 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 Andrea - I still have the message that I need to verify my ID by 1/25/2022. I have not received anything today since your response to my post was 1/20/22.  Please advise. Thanks.

 

Hi Mylene,

 

I can see that you have already submitted your documents for review. Please allow time for the team to review it. If the team needs more information, they will reach out to you directly.

Hi Joanne - any word on the verification of my documents? I have one more day to complete the verification and there is obviously an issue on Upwork's side based on other comments.  How can we either approve my document as soon as possible or extend the time since it is not my fault? I submitted this last week so I could have it done in more than enough time.  Please advise asap or direct to someone who can assist. Thanks.

 

Hi Mylene,

 

I've followed up with the team, they should be reviewing your submission soon.

Hello Team,

Question regarding: Verify your identity.

I have uploaded my identity verifications documents. The status shows still processing.
I was waiting 2/3 days, within the next 5 days I have to complete this process, otherwise, it shows the account will hold.
Does anyone know a way to connect with a human agent instead of chat-bots?
Sorry, I have a lack of knowledge about the Upwork process.

Cheers 
Isura

Hi I've tried a lot to get my ID's verified but UpWork always showing failed.

I've tried with

1. Drivers Licence - issued by Govt of India

2. Voters Identity Card - issued by Govt of India

 

All images are crisp clear and with proper borders.

I don't want to play with any more of my secure documents by uploading to UpWork.

Although all informations are available on documents, crisp, clear and with borders under white background without a single edit why UpWork is failing to verify the above documents?

 

Can any UpWork associate please help me get this resolved?

Hi,

 

I am having a hard time verifying my ID and Selfie on Upwork. I recently joined Upwork and got my first project. Shortly aftwards a message was shown on top :

 

Action required: Verify your identity by 01/26/2022 UTC to continue winning jobs on Upwork.

 

I uploaded my CNIC - the process tells me it can take upto 1 minute and then it fails. I tried multiple times but it fails. The message is now showing that verfication can take upto 1 business day. 


However its past 1 day and its still showing the message and not approved.

 

Can you kindly look into this and resolve it at your earliest?

 

Thanks

Asif

When prompted to verify my ID, I uploaded a picture of my driver's license with the correct name attached, but the verification failed and the email I was sent did not offer a solution. How can I verify my ID and get the hold removed from my account? 

 

Side note: the request page doesn't seem to be working for me, so I'm having to ask here.

Hi Lexi,

 

Thank you for your message. One of our team members will reach out to you via ticket as soon as possible and assist you further.

I submitted my ID photo and selfie for verification 2 days ago and upto now I haven't gotten feedback if verification was successful. Yet it says that verification takes 1 business day. How should I go about this?

Hi Victor,

 

I checked with the team and it looks like you already have the ID Verified badge on your profile!
