ID Verification

Hi there,

I would like to verify my ID.  I haven't been asked for it yet though. But the problem is I can't find any link to get started.

Where can I find the ID verification link?

 

Thanks much for your time.

Unless you have been contacted and asked to verify your identity, there is no need and no way to do so.

 

ID verification costs Upwork money, and most new freelancers never win a contract and never generate any income, so it would be a waste of money to ID-verify freelancers before they start earning. That's why there is no tab to do so for people who haven't started earning.

 

hello sir i got my first upwork project and now upwork asking me for identity verification but verification page did not displaying id types. it is totally blank please help only one day is left to verify my id. i have try to search "adhar" and "voter id", "election card" etc, but it displays nothing or not having option there.

Hi Shelvi,

 

You will need to click on the green arrow where it says "Select ID type" in order to be able to proceed. Once you`ve selected the type of ID you prefer, you will need to upload it as well. To learn more about our accepted documents, check out this Help Article. Thank you.

I'm unable to update the name on the ID Verification tab. I forgot to put my surname and now my account is temporarily on hold. Please help me modify the name on ID verification because I'll be needing that to receive my salary. Thank you!

Hi John,

 

I checked your account and can confirm that your ID was approved and the hold on your account was removed. If you have any additional questions let me know, thank you.

My account is still on hold. I also need to update my full name from John
Michael to John Michael Rico. Here is the screenshot below for reference.

Hi John, 


I checked your account and it doesn't seem like there is a hold placed on your account. Are you seeing a notification that informs you about an account hold? 

Also, if you need to update your name, you can do so by going to your Contact Info page and updating your name from there. If the team finds any irregularities with your name change request, they will reach out to you directly with more information.

In my country, it is very difficult to get a credit card without having so much money in your account and have a good history of the bank account. So i don't have a bank account and had to buy connects to continue working so i bought some connects with my cousin's bank account and removed his account from the billing methods. Now it is asking me yo verify your id but the name it is showing on the top is not mine, it's bank account holder name which i have to match by uploadi governement id card. The reference is shown in the picture.
I couldn't find any email, so i am writing here. Kindly help me out so that i can work smoothly again.

I would like to ask for help. I don't have valid ID here in the Philippines yet. It's hard to apply here. I don't have money yet to apply that's why I'm trying to work here. Is there anyway to access a chat support team here ? because yesterday, I was able to contact them and tried to start a video call with them but my internet is not in the good shape at that time. What should I do ? the deadline of my identity verification is today.
