Hello, I created my profile last weekend and I was expecting an email regarding the approval of my profile but didn't receive any. So, how can I check if my profile has been approved or not as a freelancer?

To check if your Upwork freelancer profile has been approved, you can follow these steps:

 

  1. Log in to your Upwork account.
  2. Click on your profile picture at the top right corner of the screen.
  3. Select "Find Work" from the dropdown menu.
  4. Look for a notification at the top of the page that indicates the status of your profile. If your profile is approved, it will say "Congratulations! Your profile has been approved."
  5. Alternatively, you can click on "Create a Profile" in the "Find Work" section and check if you can access and edit your profile information. If you can, your profile has likely been approved.

If you are still unsure about the status of your profile, you can reach out to Upwork customer support for assistance. Keep in mind that it can take a few days for Upwork to review and approve new freelancer profiles, so be patient if you don't receive an immediate response.

If you can send proposals, it means your profile has been approved.

My name is Partha Paul. I have opened an account on Upwork recently. I have completed Profile Completeness 100% but how can I know if my account is verified or non-verified? I have checked other developers they have a verified icon and also a language-verified icon. Please help me

Partha - Welcome to Upwork. Try to submit the proposal and if it goes through than your profile is approved. You can always search community forum for the answers.. For e.g. please refer following thread for more information:-

You can apply to jobs and complete tasks right now. You will be asked for additional verification later. No need to wait it.

Hello,

 

I submitted my ID for verification and visual verification a while ago. However, it is still showing the "We're reviewing your documents and will get back to you within 1 business day." note. How long will this take?

 

I would appreciate an urgent response to this.

 

Thank you.
