Hello, I am uploading my driver license but Upwork is not able to verify my ID. Additionally what is the process to use a name different than the one on my ID? For example if your ID says William but you go by Bill.

Hi John,

We'll have one of our agents reach out to you via a support ticket to assist you with your verification process.

You can update your name by going to Settings and using the edit button. You cam try using a common name variation and our team will inform you if it's acceptable. If your name variation is not acceptable, our agent will advise you directly and will suggest editing your Upwork profile name to match your bank or payment account name.

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Hi there, I am trying to verify my ID by uploading a photo of my driver's license. I've made multiple attempts but the system says there's a problem and to try again later. My photo isn't blurry, I haven't edited it, all 4 corners are visible, and it is a PNG. Is there someone that can manually verify it for me as the system seems to be not working?

Thank you.

So, no matter what I do there is no option to contact customer service. Upwork fails to verify my account, tried everything, and now I have discovered that they have removed their contact customer support option.

Hi Matthew,

I checked and it looks like you are referring to completing the location verification process. I've requested the help of our team. One of our team members will reach out and assist you directly via a support ticket. You can access the ticket when you log in to your Upwork account and going here.

It just shows the 'submit proposal' button as grayed out.

Hi Hannah,

Try re-login and try to submit again, It will be visible then.

No, it will not. That won't verifiy her profile.
