United States Location Verification - Unable to do

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.

A hold was put on my account after they asked me to upload my I.D.

 

I think I may have accedentally done this twice and set off some automatic security function. It was not intentional. How do I fix this?

What can I do about this? I haven't logged on in about a year but when I tried to submit a proposal this is the message I received. You've reached the maximum number of tries to upload your ID.

What can I do about this?

I have reached the maximum number of tries to upload my ID. But when I go to verify my identity so that I can access all jobs, the contact customer support link doesn't work.

When I try to verify my ID i get this response 'The name on your ID doesn’t match the name on your Upwork account' and it literally matches. I dont understand why this is happening.

Hello,

 

I just uploaded my photo ID to verify my account but I received this email: 

 

"Thank you for attempting to verify your location. Unfortunately, we could not authenticate the ID you uploaded."

 

It placed my account on hold with no instructions on how to resolve it. Can I know how I can verify my account and remove the hold please?

 

Thank you,

Hey everyone,

I'm having trouble with ID verification. It looks like some of you have had the same problem. I submitted two forms of ID, but neither of them were accepted. Now it says that I have reached the maximum number of times I can try to verify my ID, and I need to contact customer service... I don't understand, since my ID photos were taken properly and I tried both my license and my passport. I want to start working, so please help!

Thanks

I have tried to upload my ID in all the recommended formats, multiple times, to no avail. I have now been locked out of my account and am unable to post for any jobs. This is an official driver's license, so I am not sure why there is an issue. There is also no way to contact support, so it is quite difficult to quickly resolve this issue

Why is my identity still not authorized? I spoke with Renee on a video chat this morning after submitting a photo of my license and was told it was authorized.

I'm having issues with Drivers Liscence Verification. I have renewed my liscence, however the california DMV has been closed with covid making everything online, I have not yet received and updated copy of my drivers liscence, but i have records, receipts from the DMV proving my dirvers liscence is valid not expired. Is there a place to submit these documents so i can start trying for jobs? (obviously i'm not going to be uploading these docs to this forum, but if there is a mod or someone i can send them too directly or privately i'm more than happy to do so.)

thank you

rod.

Hello Rondey, 
There is no way to send your docs personally. 
You can use your passport or Government Verified Photo ID instead of driving liscence. 
I think it would be great to use your passport for verifying on Upwork.
