How can I know that my profile is approved?

Hello,

 

  1. I would like to know if my profile has been aprroved....?
  2. Can you not have a status marker in the profile information so new users know whether or not they have been approved?

Thx,

Melissa

Hi all,

This thread has been closed from further replies due to its size. Please know that you can check if your profile has been approved on your end by trying to submit a proposal. If you’re able to submit proposals, it means your profile was approved!

HI,

I created a new freelancer Profile on Upwork 5 days back.

 

Everytime I login it takes me to 'Create your Profile' page, with the details of my profile which I have added.

 

How do I ensure that my profile is submitted for review? I didnt get any message saying that my application is under review.

 

Please help.

 

Thanks,

Natashaa

Hi Natasha,

 

I checked your account and I can see that you are yet to submit your profile for review. You need to click the review application button to make sure you did not miss any section of the profile creation process. Any portion that is highlighted in red needs to be filled-in. Please review your application and update the missing fields to be able to submit your profile for review. In this case, please update the city field and resubmit your profile for review. 

 

Once you submit your profile, it takes at least 24 to 48-hours for the process to complete and you will be notified via email about your account.

 

Thank you.

Thanks for your prompt reply.
I have been able to Submit the application now. Thanks again. 

hey,
I just want to know that if my account verified or not? and if my account is verified then when will i get my identification link?

Hi Manish,

 

Your profile was accepted and you can start bidding on projects. Currently, you are not required to complete any verification process. The team will let you know if there is a need for any verification process in the future.

 

Thank you!

Hi guys,

 

I signed up on the website as a freelancer on Sunday and then received an email saying "We will notify you of our decision by email within 24 hours." but I didn't receive anything yet.

 

Actually, every time I open my Upwork account it shows my "Create your profile" page with my details.

 

As I'm new, I don't know - it really takes that long?

 

Thanks,

 

Matt

Matt, the 24 hour email interval is more honored in the breach than the observance.

Hi, I've created my profile on 16.10 and I have same problem as Matt. I submitted it for review 3x times (city update and send for update). But still i see create profile page.

 

Can you please look at it?

 

Thanks

I have benn stuck on this "create profile" page for about 5 days now, I have been clicking "Review Application" numerous times but it doesn't let me get access to the upowrk website with the job offers. What do I do? 

Peter - Your application has not yet been approved and you are therefore unable to make proposals to jobs.

Hi Peter,

 

Looks like you just recently successfully submitted your profile for the review. The review process takes 24 hours from the time you submitted your profile for review. Once the process is complete, you will receive an email and a notification to your Upwork account to update you about your profile approval status. 

 

Thank you.

Hello, would just like to inquire if my account has already been approved. I am able to submit proposals however, I am unable to see identity verification and my account had been inactive for couple of years.
