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.

It's been a very long time since I tried using this site; I had created this account back when it was still oDesk and forgot about it until now.

 

Having unshelved said account, I'm still wondering about the verification process. Anything I should expect now?

Hi Alistair,

 

Thanks for reaching out to us. I checked and it seems that you aren't required to complete any verification process at the moment. The team will let you know if there is a need for any verification process in the future. Meantime, you can check these help articles for more information about the verification processes on Upwork.

 

Thank you.

ID: Not provided as of now as I am waiting for my ID to be released by government issuers.
Video verification: Completed.

 

Question: Will I suffer from this rule? "What happens if I do not pass the verification process?"

Freelancers that are required to verify but do not do so will have their accounts placed on hold. The hold will prevent freelancers from withdrawing earnings, submitting proposals to new jobs, accepting direct hires, or showing up in search results. Any active proposals that have been submitted will also be canceled. The hold will not affect your ability to work on existing contracts. Once you successfully pass the verification process, this hold will be removed."

Hi Amiel,

 

Thanks for reaching out to us. If you are unable to complete your verification at this moment a hold will be placed on your account. However, when you get your ID, you can come back, complete the verification and the temporary hold on your account will be lifted. 

 

Thank you.

Hello my name is naheed..
i am a klaviyo expert and i want to verify my id through government provided documents and video call.

but there is an issue. I'm a student and i am just 18 years old and i dont have any government provided documents you have mentioned like ID card, license, passport and green card.

i want to ask you can i provide my domicile as you said you want something which is provided by the government and will have name,father name, address, picture and signature included..

my domicile is government issued document and have all the information listed above included.

other than that i can provide my government issued board result card.

please answer me soon
thanks

Hi Sehrish, 

I checked your account and can confirm that you are not being requested to verify your account just yet. Once requested, you should receive an email, or a notification in your Upwork account to complete your verification. 

If you are requested, please try to submit any government-issued ID you have and if there are any issues, the team will reach out to you directly to assist you further.

can i verify my id before i have asked to verify and can i provide domicile?

Hi Sehrish, 

Please know that we do not verify a freelancer's account upon request. This happens randomly, or if the team finds the need to verify your account. 

If your domicile is a government-issued ID, you can submit it for the team's review when you are asked to verify your account.

Hi! I´m trying to "get paid" but I get this message "Your financial account has been suspended." and I dont know how to solve it. The Community Bot is not much of a help.. I dont know how to proceed. Many thanx for your help!

Have you checked your payment method?  Make sure it is the correct checking account, pay pal, etc. 

Hi Magnus, 

I checked your account and can see two notifications from 2018 where you were being asked to complete an Identity Verification. Kindly go to this page of your account, and refer to the instructions in the ticket thread to complete your account verification, and lift the hold in your account. 

If you have questions, please let us know by replying on this thread and our team will assist you.

Hi Arga, 

I checked your account and it doesn't look like you are being requested to complete any form of verification in your account. 

I would like to confirm that if you are being requested to verify your identity, you will need to submit identification documents that match your Upwork account. 

If you are using someone else's credit card for your billing method to purchase Connects and the team finds the need to confirm some information with you regarding this credit card, they will reach out to you through an email.
