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.

I just started on Upwork. I started the ID verification process but there's an issue with my current drivers' license. I was married in August of 2019. Between finishing up two degrees at once and then Covid, I never had a chance to change my license. I changed my name with my school though so my degrees have my married name on them. We moved in December last year and, because of the cost and the DMV being closed down (now open but still cost issues) I still haven't been able to change my ID. I have my marriage certificate and a notarized affidavit from the homeowner proving my residency. We live with family so there's no lease. My bank accounts were changed to my married name as well. So my cards have that name, but not my social security number. So when I uploaded my license to Upwork ID verification, it has the wrong name AND the wrong address on it. But there's not space to add additional documents. I called and found my way to the human resources dept and I left a message. I don't know if there's anything else I can do, though.

Hello

 

I am not able to view US Only jobs and apply to them. I don't know why this is happening as I am based in the US, and have active contracts and completed jobs from the US. Can you please fix the bug?

 

Thanks!

Hello, I'm new to the platform and cannot submit any proposals. The system keeps rejecting my ID stating my name doesn't match, which it does! I've submitted an email two days ago but have received no response. There is still an error message at the top of my screen saying I have exceeded the number of attempts to upload verification of my identity and to contact customer support. Does support exist?

Hello,

 

I had just tried to upload my license for verification. The photo was untampered with and legitimate to my identity. For some unknown reason, upwork's error catch kept saying my names did not match when in fact they did. Now I am locked out of verifying my license for trying too many times with the same picture and cannot apply for work. I am unsure of what to do next.

Hello,

 

I was asked to verify my identity, but my ID document was not accepted. I tried to upload my driver's license, so I'm not sure why it wasn't accepted. I have reached the maximum attempts to upload my ID and need further assistance verifying my ID before I can apply to job. Please let me know what are the next steps. Thanks.
