Hi Amr, 


I checked your account and it doesn't look like you are being requested to complete an identity verification. Just the same, when you are requested to verify your identity, you should be able to use any government-issued ID to complete the verification process.

hi , i am also facing the same problem . There is no option for National ID ...only passport is shown in option . What should i do ?

Hello sir,
Kindly note that me and my husband are having accounts with up work and when I was asked about ID verification it doesn’t allow me to change the name it was for my husband so I thought this was for my husband account and I applied his National ID and when I figure it out I am not able to resubmit mine on my account, can u please help with that.

Hi Dina,

 

I can see that you`ve resubmitted your ID and it was approved, your verification is completed. If you have any additional questions, let me know. Thank you.

Hello Sir,

I have the same problem as Amr S. Upwork requires only passport in order to verify my identity but I do not have one. I only have a National ID card.

Your help would be welcome.

Hi Mohamed,

 

A National ID card is among the accepted documents you can submit for verification. You can learn more about those here.

 

That said, I can see that your most recent submission is currently under review. Please allow more time for the verification to be completed; the team will let you know if you need to do anything else.

Hi Mrs Avery, 

I have the same situation like Amr, the difference is that I already had been asked to verify my id, and as I have no passport or visa, I sent my national id, and I hope that it'll be accepted, as you said that any government-issued ID can be used.

Hi Mohammed,

 

Using your National ID for the verification process should be fine. If our team needs any additional information, they will reach out to you directly and guide you further thought this process.

Thank you.

Driving license in some countries do not include address. Is it possible to use such driving license to verify identity on upwork?

Thanks.

 The acceptable forms of ID vary by country and will be listed on the form given on your account.  You can also check this help article for more information.
