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.

I've got an ID verification requirement from Upwork (via both web page and email), but when I clicked on "Get started", it showed a notification "We are unable to complete ID verification at this time. Please contact support by visiting the Upwork Help Center to resolve this issue." What should I do? My due date is October 29, 2021

Hi Mai,

 

Could you try to clear your cache and cookies or log in via another browser to start the verification process? If you're still experiencing the same problem after this, let me know here. Thank you.

I asked Upwork team for help before but haven't got the solution.
I've completed verifying my ID document (the confirmation mail is attached below), but please let me know how to make Visual verification. Upwork is still notifying me that "Action required: Verify your identity by 10/29/2021 UTC to continue winning jobs on Upwork. Get started." However, when I clicked Get Started, it showed a message that " We are unable to complete ID verification at this time. Please contact support by visiting the Upwork Help Center to resolve this issue."

Hi Flora, 

 

We’re slowly rolling this badge out to all freelancers over the next few months. Once you become eligible for this badge, you’ll be notified when you log into Upwork.

 

You’ll then be asked to complete the verification process by uploading an official government-issued ID and meeting with us for a short video call. You may read more about the ID Verification Badge here for more information.

After accepting my first contract I was asked to verify my identity. No big deal except my ID does not have my new address and I did not realize this was an issue until after I sent it in. I get a notification that I have the identity verified badge but I have a hold on my account. I sent in a picture of my SSN as that was another option, I also received a notification for that method as well. I am aware I might need to wait 24 hours for the hold to go away, but at this point I do t trust if I’ve completed this step or not. When attempting to chat or email with support the help bot breaks down and I can’t get in contact with support. Can anyone help?

I've done all my verifications like ID and Visual in 2019. But still, I can't see the verification badges on my profile.

Hi Muhammad,

When you open your profile you can view your ID verification badge next to your name. The badge is already awarded on your profile and clients can view it. Thank you.

Hi There. I already completed the identity verification steps and did the video call. After few minutes I earned the badge. I understand Upwork will ask frequently to upload the ID, I have no issues with that. They requested me to submit the ID again but the problem is I can't found my issuing country anymore when I tried to upload and also for my Upwork account I used my first name and last name as written on the site but In my passport, my full name includes a middle name. I always use my first name and last name for all legal documents. I need help with this problem.
Thanks.

Hi Chaudhary,

 

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