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.

Hello! Is being 3 business days I'm trying to verify my account everytime I send the documents says I wasn't possible to verify, then when I close the popup is showing this:

3f61c6a1_0-1640257210830.png

Idk what else to do, I'm getting this message:

Action required: Verify your identity by 12/28/2021 UTC to continue winning jobs on Upwork. Get started.
And I have a currently contract in progress.

 

I tried to contact the support from many ways, the messages I send over the Get Support are not showing on the Requests page. I'm worried about them blocking my account during my contract, or not allowing to withdraw my balance.

 

Have anyone experienced something like this? There is some kind of a number I can use to get in contact with them, I feel so left alone right now.

 

Thanks for the attention! Hope I can find way to get tought before the 7 days are over.

Hi everyone!

Really hoping I can get some help. My government ID verification kept getting rejected -- I tried taking better photos of the same ID (I only have 1 valid government ID at the moment), also updated my profile information to make sure everything is the same as the ID's. Now it's being "reviewed" however I think it's been 3 business days. My account will go on hold soon and I'm very worried. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Best regards,

Maria

UPDATE: I'm verified, yay! Sorry, no delete option -- please disregard. Thank you!

Hello everyone, 

 

I had this account for a long time and I'm using it actively since this month. I'm NOT able to process my identity verification.

 

> Firstly, I go to the Upwork profile setting and there is no option for "Identity Verification".  (screenshot attached)

> Second, somehow I found the direct URL: https://www.upwork.com/ab/identity-verification/ , but it says "This page doesn't exist". (screenshot attached)

 

Hope you can help me out. 

 

Thank You,
Rohit

Hi Rohit,

 

Thank you for your message. I checked and it doesn't look like you are required to complete any verification at the moment. The team will let you know if there is a need for any verification in the future.

 

Thank you

hello upwork team, I'm new here, i don't understand how to verify my account. I opened this account 4 days ago. So far I have not been given any verification notice. In fact, I knew how many days after opening the account verification pop up will come?Screenshot 2021-12-25 153944.png

Hi Sheikh,

 

If you are required, you’ll be notified upon log in to complete the verification process by uploading a non-expired government-issued photo ID and meeting with us for visual verification. After we’ve confirmed your identity, the new badge will be displayed on your profile.

I tried to verify my account but when I uploaded my ID a message appears "please try with a valid official government ID" but this is my official government ID! 

Then, when I refresh the website It looks like my ID is being reviewed and it can take up to 1 business day. It has passed more than 2 business days and nothing!

I opened a ticket, my problem was not solved and they closed my ticket. They told me to try from a computer, clear cache, I did it and I have the same problem.

I opened a new ticket and I had no answer, seems like nobody can help me. 

I have money inside my account and I need it, this is my unique job, I can't apply to new jobs either. 

If you can help me, I will be grateful.

Hi guys, It's been a while since I created my account but up until now I can't see the settings to verify my account. How long does it usually take to reflect or are there any requirement or action needed for it to be available on my end?

Hi Upwork!
In the last 2 days I did the ID verification but they are still reviewing my ID and my selfie. I didn't still recive a email and it always appares a notification of "Action required: Verify your identity by 01/05/2022 UTC to continue winning jobs on Upwork."

But I did it and I don't know what to do. 
I can still work, but for example I can't change my profile photo. 
That's mean that on 01/05/2022 I cannot use my account? Can I do it again?

What I need to do?
