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.

Many people seem to have an issue with this. You think they would do something to fix it....

I have uploaded my green card to verify my ID and location but the system failed to do it and my account has been put on hold. Please help me get the hold removed from my account and help with a successful location verification.

On your site, I do not have the opportunity to download the ID green card and additional files with the extension. My green card has expired but I have an extension on two separate sheets. My green card is valid because it has a separate extension on separate sheets. If this problem is not solved on your website, I will not be able to work with you in the future.

Hello! I've been trying to upload my ID to verify my identity, but I continually receive an error that the request could not be processed.

 

Is there a way around this to be able to upload my ID? Please let me know, thank you!

 

Best,

Hello,

 

I am fairly new to Upwork and I was trying to connect to start my first job. Before doing so though, upwork needed me to upload a picture of my driver's license to very my ID. I uploaded a picture but the website was unabled to process my ID. Because of this, I got an email saying that my account was put on hold temporarily.

 

I would like to be able to verify my ID, remove my account from hold, and start working. Any assistance on how to go about doing this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I was trying to verify my identity with my drivers license, but it wouldn't verify it. I didn't realize that I forgot to change my address to the new one (located in a new state), and I am unsure if this may have been part of the problem. How can I rectify this problem to verify my location since I've used up my attempts?

I am not sure what is causing the issue but Upwork is not recognizing my driver's license. The state of Ohio recently changed the license design in July 2018 so it could be that. Or it could be because I am under 21 and thus have a sideways-printed license. Not sure what but Upwork cannot figure it out. I do not have a passport, green card, or state ID, so I don't know where to go from here.
