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.

Hello,

 

I am a new freelancer and I tried to submit a proposal. I was asked to provide ID for verification. I provided a picture of my passport. One minute later and I was advised that it could not be verified and to contact support. What are the next steps to get verification? 

 

Thank you,

I tried multiple times to get my ID verified, but it was rejected immediately. The picture was unaltered, clear, and had a border. There is a middle initial on my ID, but not on my profile.

Hello, 

I tried submitting a photo of my ID 3 times without success, and I'm now locked out from trying to do it again. I got an error message every time - twice saying it was the wrong type of ID (it's my MN driver's license) and another time saying it was the wrong size. I can't submit any proposals until I get this figured out so I'd greatly appreciate any support. Thanks!

I tried to upload my unaltered, with borders, jpeg, Driver's License twice and i got an email saying my account is now on hold. There are zero steps in the email to correct this. The chat bot says to post here for an answer. Someone please help!

I've been trying to upload an image of my Massachusetts State ID to verify my location, but every time I try it says that my ID type is unsupported for some reason. The only thing I can think of that might be giving it trouble is Massachusetts has two kinds of state IDs, one which can act as a federal ID similar to a passport and a regular state one like the one I have. If I can send someone the image I am trying to upload it would give me a better idea if I'm doing something wrong on my end. Thank you.
