Getting this error:
Unfortunately, you cannot submit a proposal for this job post because it requires location verification. Based on your previous attempts, you are currently not eligible to verify your location. Please contact customer support.
I had uploaded the driver's id once but it said verification failed.
I need help on this.
Please help me resolve the issue.

Hi there,
I just joined Upwork today and my account creation went smoothly. I found a job I would love to do and once I attempted to submit a proposal I was asked to submit a form of ID for verification. I submitted a clear photo of my drivers license and then was informed my account was placed on hold, and I'm a bit confused whereas to go from here.
I would love some help, thank you for reading.

Hey there,
I created my Upwork account yesterday and have been having some issues since then. Yesterday when attempting to verify my ID, my account was placed on hold. I made a post here and got in contact with support, who send me additional steps to verify my account. I completed these steps and a few hours later received an email saying welcome to Upwork, so I'm assuming my verification was accepted.
However, I still cannot submit any proposals for jobs as I'm met with the message, "you've reached the maximum number of tries to upload your ID."
Additionally, when I first made my account I accidently made it under the name Satori Blue since that is my email and it autofilled. I requested my name be changed, and something quite odd happened. The change was approved, however it only changed in a few placed. When I click my icon or am on the support forms, it shows my actual name (William Power) but when I click to view my profile and to preview how my profile looks to the public, the name is still Satori Blue. I've added a screen snippet to show what exactly I mean.
Thank you for all your help, sorry for having so many issues right away!

Hi! I am in the U.S and I have identification issued by the United States Government. in this case an Employment Authorization Card. What can I do so that this identification is allowed as a proper ID verification document. I called Tech support and they tell me that it is accepted, but I can't get the system to allow me to upload so that my ID is verified manually by Upwork.
I do not have a U.S passport or Green Card, or License or State ID.

Hi Sue,
In order to verify their location, a freelancer needs to provide a state ID, driver's license, U.S. passport or greencard. It's not possible to verify location without one of those documents but you can still have access to all the jobs in the marketplace that don't have U.S.-only requirement.

Hi Upwork,
I just got a freelance gig, but not able to start until I ger my ID verified. I am not a U.S citizen, and I do not have a green card, U.S. passport, a driver license, and a state ID. I wonder if Upwork can accept other forms of ID, like Passport from other countries and other types of work permits, and where I can get them verified.
This article only states what Upwork needs from us, but never tell us where we can provide our own IDs.

Cindy you can use any of the official ID proof that Identify your Identity like Passport, Driving Licence etc.
Sep 1, 2020 09:50:26 PM by Yitong S
But where I can upload them? They only accept U.S. issued IDs through the ID verification window.
