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 am having the same problem. I tried uploading an ID of my driver's license to verify my location and my account has been put on hold. I tried to directly contact customer support through the green link, but it keeps sending me to the community. Can someone please help me resolve this? Thank you!

Hi This is my 4th attempt to getting my profile approved, and I keep getting the error message as follows:

"You've reached the maximum number of tries for uploading your ID. Please contact customer support."

 

However, there is no button, link or direct support contact for me to click or call to resolve this issue.

 

Can anyone help me or others who are experiencing this issue, please?

I tried to submit my ID and it didn't work, so I tried rotating it and uploading again and now it says I have uploaded too many times and can't upload anymore, so now I can't request jobs...

How can I verify my Identity if all my official documents such as ID, drivers license, passport are from Mexico but I´m currently living in the U.S with a J1 visa and that´s my only government-issued document?  the site is not allowing me to upload it. 

Hi Anette, 


Kindly confirm with the local authorities, or with a legal adviser if you can work on Upwork with a J1 VISA. Just the same, I have shared your account information with the team so that they can look into this and get in touch with you.

I don't have a scanner to scan my passport so my only option is to try to take a picture of it. But the light keeps reflecting on the shiny paper and I think that's the reason why the bot can't verify my ID and blocked me from submitting anymore images. My phone has a 12-megapixel camera so I don't think the quality is an issue.

I'm just trying to verify my ID. I've tried several times and keep getting denied each time. This is frustrating and not being able to talk to an acutally bloody goddamn person about it is even more frustrating.

Same.

The same thing is happening to me Smiley Frustrated and now I can't find a link to try again...

I tried uploading my id but the verification failed. It said that they've 'sent' an email with next steps, and still have not received it. Wondering why there is not an option to just re-upload your id if it failed the first time? Thanks.

Hello,

As I am sure multiple other people have experienced, the ID verification of my passport could not be accepted. I do not know why, but it said a hold was placed on my account. I have been unable to find answers on the forums here. How can I proceed/expedite this process?

Thank you,

Eric
