  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,

I have created my profile today and after creating it successfully when i opened my profile there was no message of " your profile is under review". What does it mean? whether it has been approved or nott?

How do you know there should be a message letting you know the profile is under review?

My brother works at this platform so I asked him and he said that i will recieve an email untill then a message i mentioned will remain there

Can you tell me that my account is approved or not?

Yes, you are an official Auto Acceptedcel.

I just wanted to see if my account application has been approved. I submitted an application and have not recieved an email either way as to whether it was approved or rejected. And I don't see any sort of pending flag on my profile. Any support is greatly appreciated.

Another Auto Acceptedcel. It's good to see that you put effort into your profile for Auto Accepted status.

Hey Jennifer, thanks for the response. Just to confirm, are you saying that my application has been accepted? Thanks.

Hi, i want to work and I created my account exactly a week ago. I uploaded as much information as I could but still could not get approved. I was not rejected, my account just hasn't been reviewed yet.

So I wonder, how much time does it normally take for approval?

Thank you for your answers 🙂

I am not getting any email even after 24 hours and everytime I log in to upwork.com it takes me to the create profile page and shows "If your profile is approved, it will become the public profile you’ll use to market your freelance business to clients (you can edit it after approval)."

Can you let me know the current status of my account?

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

Hi Mentor,

 

It can take up to 48 hours for the review to be completed.
Please keep in mind that your name needs to be your full legal name and you will need to upload a profile photo from yourself. Thank you.

Hi Goran,

 

Thank you for your reply, i've provided with my ID, another issue is with VAT! I added my vat ID and i got an email that could not be verified. You have no form to upload our VAT list issued by our GOV! Upwork marked my bank account as mismatched which you didn't even checked it, so i have had to submit a ticket with a proof that it is my account. Did you guys even check some informations, or you just do to the members, "1. it's legit, 2. it's not legit"!

 

Cheers.

Hi Mentor,

 

We'll have one of our agents reach out to you via a support ticket to assist you with adding your VAT number. 

 

Thank you.
