I'm just curious about something. If I have agency and I use UpWork to hire freelancers do I have to register as an agency? Thanks.

Yes. And you also have to pay for it, I believe. It's against the terms of service to use an individual account as an agency

Hi Melissa, 

Thank you for your answer. Do you know if there's anyone or any way I can talk to someone from Upwork to confirm?

Hi Dante,

It looks like you are interested in hiring freelancers to complete assignments for you, in which case you don't have to register as an agency since you will be hiring freelancers but not earning money on Upwork as a freelancer or agency. If that is the case, you can check out this Client Guide for tips on working with freelancers.

Please read this article for more information about agencies on Upwork and how to create and manage an agency of freelancers.
