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, I am trying to verify my identity to release funds, however, the system keeps saying " We are unable to complete ID verification at this time. Please contact support by visiting the Upwork Help Center to resolve this issue. " Does anyone know how can I fix this issue? I have contacted customer service 4 times with no response. 

Thanks,
Mohamed

Before Bidding, I need to verify identity as no one will be prepared to hire an unverified freelancer.
I do not have access to verification link.
Need assistance.

If the identity verification tab is not available, you're not required to verify your identity yet. In most cases, the tab unlocks when a freelancer gets his first contract. You can bid on whatever projects you want.

Hello,

 

I have a concern with regards to profile verification.  I wanted my profile to be verified, however, the "Identity Verification" tab is not visible on my settings.   See attached screenshot.

 

Please let me know if there is a new way of getting verified.  

 

Thanks,

Azeriel

Hi Azeriel,

 

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

I just landed my first job here in Upwork and it asks to verify my identity using a Valid ID. But, I am processing my Valid IDs at the moment and this will take months because of the new system due to the pandemic.

 

My question is, what will happen to my current contract? Will I not be able to continue working?

 

The verification process is only until March 6, 2022, and my account will be on hold, I think.

Hi Lira,

 

Thank you for your message. You will be allowed to continue working on the current contract but your account may be placed on hold to limit your ability to continue on Upwork until you complete the requested verification. 

 

Thank you

Hi,

Thank you for your answer.

It's quite strange to my account. I don't have an "identity verified" badge
but I still can submit proposals. Is there something wrong?

Kindly take note that my account was created several years ago and I just
come back this year.

Please help to check if it is possible.
Many thanks for your help!

Best regards.
