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.

You've reached the maximum number of tries to upload your ID.
To verify your identity so that you can access all jobs contact support
I've done that a 100 times and all I get is this data bot that keeps asking me to login even though I'm already logged in can anyone help me to get this done because it's not allowing me to apply for jobs

I tried uploading my ID to have it verified, but then it gave me an error message saying they couldn't match the photo. Then I recieved an email saying that I've reached the Maximum tries to upload my ID.  On the ID I don't have my glasses on, because it was required of me to remove them for the photo ID. However, on my profile picture and everywhere else I have my glasses on. I'm thinking this is the reason why they denied my ID is simply because they didn't recognize that it was the same person. However, I cannot go back into my profile to try and reupload the ID again.

I exceeded the maximum number of tries uploading my ID and it said I needed to contact customer support. I did that and I was sent a secure link to upload my ID, but that link has expired and I need to get a new one. I attached a screenshot of the response I received from customer support the first time with the link that is now expired.

I signed up for Upwork yesterday and tried uploading my driver's lisence a few times before it locked me out of participating. I think I figured out what the problem is. I cropped the photo after scanning my license. But now I don't know how I can upload a new uncropped photo of my driver's license. I received an email saying I'm locked out but i don't know if this is temporary or if I will have another chance to reupload in a day or two. If not, I guess I need to cancel my membership. Anyone got an idea of how I should proceed?

HI, I am experiencing the same issue, how can I get this resolved? I am assuming it's because the address on my DL is not my current address now?

Hello,

 

I am trying to verify my ID and all the help posts link to an identity verification page in the profile settings but I can't find that page in the settings and when I click the links, I receive a 404 error.

 

Any help?
