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 need a link or code to be sent to me that allows me to do the selfie or video verification. It just says that I have reached the maximum number of tries. I see that there are options for verification methods. But I need to be able to verify so that I can access all jobs. Please get me a request number or send me an email. Thank you!

I've tried a minimum of three times to upload my ID and Passport so I may verify my identity and all it says is to contact support so I would like to contact an actual human being at upwork not just a chatbot I have the necessary IDs can someone please get back to me from upwork?

Upwork automated system said  the name on my ID doesn't match my profile name but it does.  Is there anyway to contact  Upwork to get this straitened out?

I've reached the maximum number of attempts to verify my ID. Each attempt has failed. I need to open a ticket to address this issue. Is this forum the only way to contact support?

I'm having trouble with my state Id being accepted. It says that it is not supported but it is a state Id. I made sure everything was visible and included all four corners of my id. Plus it is also the correct file type. Any help that can be given would be much appreciated.

I've uploaded the photo like 20 times or something and it doesn't get through. I changed the DPI. I have an Iphone so the quality should be good. This is very inefficent and beyong frustrating. Also, I can not submit a proposal and it said to contact customer support to fix this but here I am.
