You are not allowed to do that. Only one account per person, ever.
Why would you want to do that anyway? Just edit the one you have.

What if I have an old account and I closed it and made a new one with the same email?
May 7, 2020 07:02:00 AM by Goran V
Hi Laishah,
I would like to clarify that freelancers are allowed to have only one account. If something is still confusing or you have any additional questions, let me know. Thank you.

A friend of mine has two accounts and the first one got suspended. He doesn't know exactly why, but since he is not aware of the policies he created a new one and also got suspended on it after earning some clients probably after 2 weeks of using the new account. He says he also run through verification process where he gave a Valid ID and as well as talk to one of the Upwork Reps over the phone but he still got suspended. Is there any way one of the account can be closed and use the other one? Can he still recover one of his account and use it to work?

re: "A friend of mine has two accounts and the first one got suspended."
You should not be friends with people who violate serious Upwork ToS.
Or at least don't be so public about your friendship with people who are violating serious Upwork ToS.
You don't want Upwork to think you are doing the same things. And you don't want Upwork to think that your "friend" is really just you.
On the topic if having two accounts:
Upwork does NOT allow that.
Upwork will always suspend or terminate freelancers if they are caught doing that.
But Upwork WILL WORK WITH freelancers if they come forward and explain that they made a mistake and didn't know about the rule, and ask for Customer Support to help them close all of their accounts except for their first one.

Hi Goran,
Hope you would be fine. I just encountered a problem. While I was entering my name, I did not read the "name changing policy" of upwork. Actually, I have two names; one official name that appears on my ID card and debit card and the second one (that I consider full name) appears on my all educational degrees. When I open my account on upwork, I used the initial and last words of the later name and not the former one. But when I was putting up details about my account so that I could get paid, I entered the name which was on my ID card and Debit Card. All "get paid" section has gotten off now. There is no option appearing. I even sent a request to change my "upwork account name" to the name appears on my ID and Debit card so that there would be no mismatch between the two names. Do you think it is fixable or I comit a blunderous mistake by not reading the "naming changing policy" when I was opening upwork account today ? Or is there any other way to fix this up?

Hello Joanne,
I have a problem please I need help, my username and the name on my payment ID are not the same. I never knew it mattered until I saw someone mentioning it here. Instead of closing the Upwork account and opening a new, is there a way I can change my username or make a new email that reflects my name.
Thanks as you respond to my email.

In need of help. I updated my account name after getting married several years ago. No issues with that. Today I added my payment method information that match's my account name (my legal name). There were no prior payment methods associated with my account. I received an email for Payment Method Added but the account name in the email has my old name (prior to marriage). How do I confirm I won't have issues with any payments since somewhere in the Upwork system still clearly lists me with my old name?
Thank you!
Jun 23, 2022 06:09:31 PM by Joanne P
Hi Juli,
I checked your account and it looks like you have already added your payment method and currently it is being reviewed. If our team required additional steps for your payment verification, they will reach out to you directly.
Jun 23, 2022 07:51:05 PM by Juli D
Hi Joanne,
Thank you for checking. Yes my payment method was added today. The name on the Upwork Notification email I received has my old last name. My concren is that my old last name from 9 years ago is still associated to my account. How can it be corrected so future notifications and anything to do with my account has the correct name?
Thanks!

Hi,what if I simply want to change my username? how do I do that without deleting my current account ang making a new one?
Dec 1, 2020 04:57:41 AM by Goran V
Hi Ronald,
Unfortunately you won't be able to change your username.
Please keep in mind that freelancers are allowed to have only one account. Opening more than one account is a violation of our TOS even in the scenario you`ve desribed. Thank you.
