Hi Aakash, 

I checked your account and it doesn't look like you are being requested to verify your account. Did you receive any notification in your account or any email from the team that's requesting you to verify your account?

Hi Efran,

 

 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.

Thanks for your reply. I cant find the form that specifies acceptable id documents according to my country. So can i use Turkish driving license to proof my identity?

Hi Erfan,

 

Yes, I confirmed this with our team. It can be used as an ID as long as it is not expired.

 

Thank you!

I have a problem during my identity verification, I live in Madagascar. They are asking for a passport, but I only have my national identity card (CIN). Can you help me?

Hi Avozara,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. I would like to clarify that freelancers requested to submit identification documents should submit any of the documents listed during the verification process. Note that the list is different for each country.

 

If you do not have any documents from the list, you can submit a different government-issued photo ID, ensuring it’s unexpired and valid. This will trigger a manual review process.

I have no passport for verification either, what should i do? Thanks for your help.

Hi Santiago,

 

In order to confidently verify your identity, we need to match your physical appearance with a photo ID issued by a government entity. This includes a valid driver’s license, passport, or identity card.

 

Thank you!
