Hi Dee Ann Jo,

 

Thank you for your message and welcome to Upwork! I'm happy to report that your profile has been approved. You can check this on your end by trying to submit a proposal. If you’re able to submit proposals, it means your profile was approved! 

 

Here are some resources I compiled to help you get started on Upwork; I suggest you review each of them carefully:

I hope this helps!

Hello, my profile is under review and there is a message saying that within 24 hours I will be notified if it is approved. 24 hours passed and I still got nothing, can you please help me ? 

Hi Marko,

 

I checked your profile and can see it is being reviewed. In the meantime, you can still work on improving your profile and resubmit it with any changes.
To help you create a complete and quality profile, check out these Upwork Academy courses:
If you experience any issues with your profile submission or review, please contact support by clicking the "Get Support" button that shows at the bottom right corner in the Upwork Help. You will be asked what type of account you need help with and to describe your issue or questions. Please select the best option for your situation. If you’d like to speak to an agent, you can request that via the chatbot.

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

Sirs/Mesdames,

 

My profile completion is already at 95% and haven't received any update yet if my profile is already approved or not. In addition,As much as I wanted to update my profile, no  "resubmit" button is reflected.

 

For your kind response, please.

Your profile is being reviewed. It must be approved before you can submit a proposal.

This has been the case for some months now.
