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

I can see your profile, so it is public.

"Re: How can I be sure if my Upwork account has been approved "

 

Can you bid on jobs?

 

The Hire button is there when I look at your profile from my client account so you probably have been approved. Unapproved freelancers tend to have a note that they can not be invited at that point.

Martina, whether the profile is public or private has not bearing on the approval status or vice versa  🙂

I am new also, but l just created my portfolio and l have not been approved yet. So check again. **Edited for Community Guidelines**

Hi Ajiboye,

 

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.
