ID Verification

[shohel95]

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.

[jpaulbuenabajo]

I can't find any part of my profile to start getting a verification on my profile here at upwork. Tried to google, ask the automated support for a link and it's only bringing me to the home page of upwork. Can somebody please help me why am I not able to get started on Identifying my verification? I've used this link so far but doesn't help at all https://www.upwork.com/ab/identity-verification/

[prestonhunter]

No, that's not how this works. You don't initiate this. Just do it when Upwork asks you to. Until then, don't worry about it.

[jpaulbuenabajo]

Thank you for the reply. It looks like that I just have to wait for it.

[bstojadinovic]

Hi Amir,

It looks like you were asked to verify your identity and you have successfully done so. At times we require our users to verify their identity in order to access or continue to access the Upwork marketplace. We do this because it is a critical part of maintaining a trusted online global workplace and keeping Upwork safe and fraud-free. 

This is, however, different from the ID verification badge that your account is not eligible for yet. You will receive a notification once your account is eligible.

Thanks!

[developpro]

its mean my id verification not done thats why i m not geeting badge am i right ?

[developpro]

i just do 2 enable authorization complete also

So, in NJ, only 10 characters are used for your first name.  Since mine is "Chistopher", my license has "Christoph".  So "Christoph" is what I ended up getting for a name when I took a photo of my license for upwork.  Fast forward to updating my payment info....I can't.  The banking details / card details has "Christopher", which is correct and this doesn't match with "Christoph" in the Upwork profile.  I submitted a help request to have the name manually updated to "Christopher".  It shows as the correct "Christopher" now, however Upwork is once again asking me to verify my ID.   Ugh, so so frustrating....

[g_vasilevski]

Hi Christopher,

I`m sorry about the inconvenience this had caused you. I checked your verification and it was successfully completed. If you have any additional questions let me know, thank you.

Thank you.

Hi Miguel, 

I checked your account and can see that you are being requested to complete a Government ID verification. Please know that on Upwork, you may periodically requested to verify your account as part of our efforts to make sure that the marketplace is safe for all users of the website. This is also noted in the Upwork User Agreement, Section 1.6 Identity and Location Verification where it says that - 

"When you register for an Account and from time to time thereafter, your Account will be subject to verification, including, but not limited to, validation against third-party databases or the verification of one or more official government or legal documents that confirm your identity, your location, and your ability to act on behalf of your business on Upwork... When requested, you must timely provide us with complete information about yourself and your business, which includes, but is not limited to, providing official government or legal documents."

You may also refer to this help article for more information on the different verification processes we have on Upwork.

Hi Respected Members of Upwork!

I have already verified and confirmed my account by submitting a ID and also Via video verification. But unfortunately when I attempt to submit a proposal I am prompted to provide the information all over again. I had communicated with 3 of your support agents who genuinely wanted to help but transfered me from one department to another saying I was with the wrong support group. The last person I spoke with wasn't able to provide me with an answer and asked me to send an email through which I have done and not received any response at all. This honestly is very inconvenient as I have never had any problems with this before and now I am unable to submit proposals for prospects. Your speedy assistance would be much appreciated and wish you all the best!

Hi. I have received a verify identify message and only have until the end of today to upload it. But my ID comes in two weeks. Do you give me another deadline to upload it?
