United States Location Verification - Unable to do

[Paige S]

No, the name on my profile, Paige Ichenberg, is not my legal name. I got married a month ago and changed my name to Paige Sullivan (my legal name). On my social security card, my name is Paige Sullivan- I won’t be able to change the name on Driver License (Paige Ichenberg) any time soon. I sent in a picture of my license so I can start finding work because it wasn’t letting me apply for anything without having my name verified.

I’m a military spouse so I have a military ID. On that ID it says Sullivan, could I take a picture of that ID and verify my legal last name?

Hello,

I have been asked to upload me ID but I do not feel comfortable at all sending my personal data to a computer. I heard from my friend I can also do a video chat, and I am comfortable with showing my face, but not my personal data. 

How do I do a video ID? I am currently residing in NY.

If it is a MUST to upload my personal data, then it's a risk I am not willing to take, as I've had issues previously with attempted identity theft. 

Thanks

Hello Shpat, don't worry about all you heard. In video verification, there will be some basic questions about your profile, expertise, and jobs. You just need to keep your National Identity Card with you during video verification. there is a verification option in your profile setting you have to scan your Identity card and upload it there. that's it.

Hello, thank you for your reply.

I have worked with Freelancer.com previouly which is where I had the problem of personal data invasion and still there are profiles with my name where I am not the owner.

Is there an option te be sent mail instead of putting my document online? I would much prefer that, and I am fine with showing my ID on video too, I just don't want to upload it.

Thanks

Hi Shpat,

We understand the importance of keeping your personal information secure and confidential. We have an extremely secure upload and storage tool with three layers of data encryption, allowing us to apply rigorous security standards while ensuring your identity verification documents remain in strictest confidence. Your identity info is only temporarily stored. Once we have verified it, it is deleted. We handle all verification data with the same degree of care that we give all Personally Identifiable Information, as explained in our Privacy Policy.

Hi, you must upload your documents (ID) and complete your identity verification process. And fell comfortable with upwork. Every freelancer must go through this verification process. 

Video verification is another step of verification. You will be notified by upwork when you will need to complete the video verification process.

Without completing these steps you can not continue on upwork.
