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.

Dear Support,

 

My account is currently on hold, I wasn't able to verify it via Upwork but I linked my verified PayPal to Upwork account but that hasn't resolved my problem.

How else would I get my account verified?

Mubanga Chanda

Hi Mubanga,

I have cleared my ID Verification, have a blue badge but still on hold. Can someone kindly explain this?

Hi Ramsha,

 

I can see that you have been already granted the ID Verification Badge. If you can't see it on your end, try clearing your browser cache and cookies. Note that it may take some time to reflect.

Hi Luiggi, Thanks for the response,

I can see the badge but my account in on hold, all of the proposals have been withdrawn. I am not visible to any client, even active proposals are withdrawn and all work is ceased. I verified ID, but I have lost all my proposals, will they be all revived?

Hi Ramsha, 

I apologize for the delay. I looked into this further, and I can see that you missed verifying your account by the deadline. As such, a temporary hold on your account was placed, and your proposals were withdrawn. When you receive a notice to verify your account, it would be best to complete it by the deadline to avoid any hold on your account.

While trying to verify my account, it got a lock on it and I am no longer able to take gigs. I can't find any way to contact customer support about this issue. Is there not a number I can call them at? or an e-mail address?

Yesterday I received a message from upwork saying my account is temporarily suspended as I haven't verified it. NEVER BEFORE had I received IDENTITY VERIFICATION or ACCOUNT SUSPENSION message (on upwork notifications or email). 

 

I then verified my account a few hours after the message. But today when I checked my proposals, all 11 of them were withdrawn without any notice or refund of connects.

 

Kindly let me know how to undo the automatic unnotified withdrawals or atleast how to get my connects back. 

(PS: For upwork team -> Atleast give us a 24 hours notice period to take desired action before directly withdrawing all the proposals or suspending the account)

Hi Neha, 

I looked into this further, and I can confirm that an email was also sent out to you on 2-March requesting you verify your account. I can see that you missed verifying your account by the deadline. As such, a temporary hold on your account was placed, and your proposals were withdrawn. When you receive a notice to verify your account, it would be best to complete it by the deadline to avoid any hold on your account.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I did verify the account a few hours after the email. Is the account still
suspended? Also after the suspension is removed will I get my proposals or
connects back?

The proposals and the Connects will not be returned in this case since you missed verifying by the deadline.

Hello. I'm new to upwork and trying to verify my identity. While trying to submit proposals, I'm taken to screen instructing me to verify my identity. A green "verify" button sits at the bottom of the screen. Upon clicking it I'm taken back to the job posting I was in. I cant advance. I opened a ticket for support and have had no response. Tried different phones and browsers. Help!

Hi Gilad,

 

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
