Upwork doesn't ask me to verify my identity.

I've made on account on upwork but I still not receive any message to verify my account. I don't have any button or links to do that. why?

Hi Katerina,

 

I checked and it doesn't look like you are 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.

 

Thank you.

You haven't earned anything.

ID verification at the scale Upwork is doing it is stunningly expensive, and the vast majority (80 - over 90% depending on category) of new freelancers never win a single job or earn a single dollar, so there is little to no point ID verifying anyone until they have started earning money.

I know that some people could to verify their account before had any earnings. Their accounts are very similar to mine. I mean their account was filled 100% and that's all they'd done

Upwork also doesn't ask me to verify my identity.  Can you check my profile if it needs verfication then tell me?

Hi Asharib 

 

It doesn't look like you need to verify your account yet. Please know that verification cannot be requested. If the team finds the need to verify your account, you will be notified through an email, or through a notification in your account with more information on how you can complete the verification process.

Hi Naziru,

 

I have checked your account, and it doesn't need further verification yet. Remember that you cannot initiate the identity verification yourself, and it cannot be requested. If the team finds the need for you to do it, you will receive an email detailing the instructions for completing your verification. You may want to check this help article for more information.
