Identity Verification

[Lachlan B]

I also cant access anything other than the FAQ when i click on support. No contact information, email or live chat. I have been given a random "could not process" error when submitting my ID scan for verification, but it just sends me to the Faq when i click on contact support.

Hi Lachlan and Ladie May,

I expect this issue will be resolved soon and I'll post an update as soon as I receive the confirmation.

Thank you for your continued patience.

i send all the required documents and my ticket is opened from last 20 days i guess and still you are not able to verify my ID i send you all the documents even my birth certificate along with passport, my CNIC my bank account statement what else you want to verify from ? where can i access live chat or i can provide live video chat interview so that you can then verify me.

Hi Abbas,

I see some of your documents were the reason why you couldn't complete your ID verification. I see you uploaded additional documents yesterday, which our team will review and update your ticket as quickly as possible. 

Thank you for your cooperation.

Hi Team,

    When trying to upload my ID to upwork I receive this message, I have tried all the possible options such as my ID, Driver License and Passport. 

  Please help.

Thanks in advance,

Karl A. Beras H.

Here's what the issue is with Upwork

While they claim that there is a verification process there actually is no such thing.

They claim to clients that they really care about security and safety of their clients and the freelancers are vetted in an intense manner, this is a complete lie.

I learned that the person we hired for our project wasnt even the person he claimed to be.

His name wasnt real,

qualifications were not real

and worst part, he took possession of our intellectual property.

 Where have you seen any claim like that? CERTAINLY nowhere in the Terms of Service, where it says the opposite.

Wait for the audio confession of the process but until then enjoy an image from their very own website

This company is in serious trouble
