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.

Every time I try to do the selfie, it says no face found. I have aloepecia and I have no hair, so I don’t know if it’s able to recognize my face. How do I get my verification completed without being able to do this? It offers no other option

Has nothing to do with your hair.

 

The lighting on your photo is no good.

 

Look at the photos of other freelancers. Look at my photo. Now look at your photo. See the difference?

It said it’s trying to verify it based on my drivers license picture though

Hello,

 

I am trying to upload my ID, but I am seeing the following error message at the top of the screen:

 

You've reached the maximum number of tries to upload your ID.
To verify your identity so that you can access all jobs, please contact customer support.

 

The problem in the past was the expiration date. Due to the pandemic, it took longer to renew my ID than it normally would have. However, I now have a current ID card, so I would like to verify my ID.

 

If someone could help me, I would really appreciate it.

 

 

Thank you

I am working on creating my account and when I try to send a verification code to my phone number, it says "Something went wrong. Try again later".  How can I fix this?
