I badly wants to verify my identity since I'm a legit worker/freelancer. However, I can't, I'm just a student freelancing for experience too. I don't have such a goverment ID just a student ID.

Is there anyway I can?

Thank you!

Hi AJ,

Thank you for your message and for checking my profile. I appreciate the suggestion to improve my profile and the resources provided through Upwork Academy. As I remember, I didn't submit an any ID for my profile to get verified. This is what I meant, it suddenly happened after I accept the offer of my client (See pic below).

I will take the time to review the courses and make any necessary changes to enhance my profile.

Best Regards,
Lei
