United States Location Verification - Unable to do

[bhar5027]

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! I changed my last name recently and moved from Europe to US. Now Upwork is asking my ID because of name change and address change, it needs to be US passport, green card, state ID or drivers license. I don`t have any of those yet (green card is pending) I only have my US employment authorization. How I am supposed to verify myself? When the system doesn`t approve my ID. I would like to speak straight to somebody, but can`t find email or support anywhere. Thanks if anybody can help.

I rarely come on UpWork anymore because many of the gigs don't apply to me usually - different skills than what I have usually but when I do find a gig that matches I expect to be able to submit a proposal.  I figure it will probably take less time to get approved for one of these gigs and start working on the work than to go with the process of multiple interviews, tech assessments, etc. that one has to normally endure for even a contract role these days.  

I tried to submit a proposal and I get a message saying I've exhausted my attempts to submit my ID - I don't recall EVER submitting my ID - I've never been asked to my knowledge.  So what do I have to do to get this approval so I can submit proposals.

I dealt w/ the bank account verification that never works - I never get the transactions in my bank's transaction record so I can never get verified that way to do US only gigs but that's ok - I'm fine working for entities around the world.  But now this ID verification???

I shouldn't have to jump through so many hoops to get a bleeding job - I could get a job at a supermarket with a lot less of a headache or hemmoraging involved.

Not sure why, but my ID verification keeps failing. I would love to work on UpWork but it just seems as though I can't get through this. I tried searching it up, and found a link to a "video verification" site, but whenever I clicked on it it'll take me straight to UpWork's Help page. I literally cannot click on anything because it will automatically just send me back to UpWork's Help page, every single time.

Hi, I am trying to create my profile and am having trouble. I am currently on military orders in Sasebo, Japan and am having trouble completing my profile because FPO is not an option for the state in the address verification. How do overcome this problem? Does this website cater to military overseas?

I am so shocked that I cannot talk to someone on the customer service team to help me with an issue. The website is not reading my ID correctly to verify my name, and now I cannot apply for any jobs because it says i've tried too many times. The Help & Support page doesnt work - it keeps just loading back to the main screen no matter what button you push. I need help please!!

Hi! Was my question removed from the forum? Unfortunately the help &

for me. When I click the area I need help it, it loads back to the exact
page over and over again. Please help

Hi,

I got some issues with uploading my ID for verification. I currently live in New York, but I'm not a US citizen; therefore I don't have any ID from the list(Driver’s License, State ID, Passport, or Green Card). I tried to upload my VISA or EAD card but still can't be verified. Even the non-US job asks me to verify my ID. How do I fix it?

Well, I've been waiting! Are you people awake?

I have been waiting months now for someone to help me. I uploaded my Driver's License and for some unexplainable reason, your system won't verify my Driver's License.

Hello there, My name is Christopher and I am a 25-year-old, I'm new to this company and I have a question regarding the Government Photo ID card Regulation for identity purposes. I currently don't have any official government-issued photo id cards since I haven't been able to obtain one yet due to financial reasons. however, I do have an original Brith certificate with my full legal name on it and I have multiple bank statements and I also have a Government-issued Medicaid card with my full name and my SSN on it and I could also provide a screenshot of myself as well. but I just don't have a government photo id card to provide would this be an issue or could I provide my birth certificate and my Medicaid card for proof of my identity? - Christopher R.

Hi,

I keep trying to verify my ID with the Upwork system, but every time I do, it fails. My State ID is in the vertical format, and as such it doesn't match the systems ID reference. How can I still get verified to work here?

I have no other valid identification at this time.

Hello.
I am living in the USA. I got an EAD card and SSN, but my account has been placed on hold after uploading my card as my ID. I am allowed to work and pay taxes in the USA, but I don't have a green card yet. Is there any way I can verify my ID and my location?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Goran, 

The person took 18 hours to respond, and she only restated her original advice, which was completely unhelpful. 

She sent me a link to verify my ID, but it's asking for a utility bill (or similar). I can't provide that, because my mailing address is currently inaccessible due to COVID. What can I do? Can the verification process be "reset" so I just need to provide an ID? 

Thank you.. getting quite frustrated.
