pointless re-verify

[Tom Z]

I've done the video verification before, got a notice today for another one... Is it an annual thing?

Could just be random luck of the draw.

Some people are verified, and then re-verified.

Every time this happens to you, it means that Upwork is making its platform safer and more secure for honest freelancers such as yourself.

They're trying to weed out the frauds and scammers. Which means more money for us. Because it enhances the client experience.

I would like to have an update on this, please.

I am pretty new to upwork, I am on my 2nd month that just started and am having a veriifcation call again for the second time during the 1st and 2nd milestone. Again my client is stuck waiting and I don't know what to tell them, during the booking process my client also told me she had the same thing happen before she could hire me. Im not sure what is going on

[Higgs J]

I can not go on to the second milestone so it has everything to do with the client and the project

Hi Higgs,

As part of our ongoing work to keep the Upwork marketplace a secure place for freelancers and clients, verification is sometimes required more than once. We do try to avoid doing this repeatedly and apologize for the inconvenience it may cause. 

Please, refer to this ticket for more information regarding the verification process, where our team already shared tips about using a device with a connected camera and microphone for the verification process. Use the link provided in the ticket and our agent will guide you through the process!

Thank you.

If we'vre already gone through the verification process and received a blue checkmark, do we need to reverify? I've been asked for a video verification call recently and it seems like I've already done this.

It happens.

Nothing to worry about. Just re-verify and continue with freelancing.
