Hi Kori,
Some freelancers will be eligible for digital photo verification in place of a video call. To complete digital photo, or "selfie" verification, you'll be asked to take a photo of yourself on your computer or mobile device. If you run into any issues with your Browser Settings for Visual Verification you can check this help article. For any other issues, please reach out to our support team.

Hi Jovarya,
Are you able to attempt to complete the verification process from a smartphone instead? Let us know if that helps.

I've done the first 2 steps of worker verification on Upwork, but things stop working at the 3rd. I have to do a visual verification where I show my face, but on both phone and computer, on Safari and Microsoft Edge, the page stays white and the camera turns on but then turns off.
So I can't fully verify my account. Help.
Can a member reach out to me with a ticket please.

Hi Kendrah,
I'm sorry you're having trouble completing the verification process. I notified the relevant team and they've just recently contacted you via a support ticket to assist you further.

I was testing my phone camera and it seems it captured a different face instead of mine. I need to retake the photo so that my profile can be verified. I just landed my first contract.

Hello, I am currently conducting video verification. I have already submitted my ID card photo, but when I was conducting mobile video verification, the video verification never passed.
The process is as follows: I opened the video verification window based on the SMS link, and an oval window appeared. I held my phone up for a long time to take photos, and the photos were normal without any problems.
But after a period of time, the webpage display expired.
I have repeated this process several times, all with the same result.
I don't understand why. This should be automatic photography, not manual photography. I didn't see any buttons for manual photography.
I want to choose to have a conversation with the agent, but my spoken English is very poor, and I am not sure if I can have a normal conversation with the agent.
I don't know what to do.

I have a problem in id verification they said We are reviewing your selfie and it's a week so far and i can't make id verification I uploaded my id photot but in vain. I don't know what to do
Nov 5, 2023 01:20:57 AM by Altaf H
Create a new ID and use it when they request your photo. When they ask for your verification, provide your selfie, and the verification process should go smoothly.
Nov 5, 2023 01:35:17 AM by Monim A
You can email them about this issue. If they are late with their solution, you can follow Altaf H's

hi upwork, my identification has been uploaded but my selfie has not been verified, but wont let me do it again, how do i fix this?
Nov 6, 2023 12:07:38 PM by Arjay M
Hi Aaron,
I took a closer look at your profile and can confirm that your selfie has been accepted. Your ID is Verified, and you should see the ID Verified badge on your profile as confirmation.

Hi
I am facing an issue with the profile photo. My Id verification through the ID card was verified but then when selfie was taken, the verification process halted and I received an email that my photo on ID card and profile photo should match. I believe the religious beliefs are resapected by UPWORK because in my public display of photo, I have NIQAAB (face veil) on. Please guide me on this matter
thanks

I've been asked to verify my identity to keep applying to jobs, I passed the two first steps successfully (ID document verification and Location verification) but it's been more than three days and I didn't get an answer from the third step Visual verification, I keep getting this message : We are reviewing your selfie which typically takes a few minutes, but could take up to 1 business day.
Nov 7, 2023 06:00:40 AM by Malik A
If it's been more than three days and you haven't received a response for the Visual verification step, it's a good idea to follow up with the organization or platform you're applying to for jobs. There might be a delay or an issue with the verification process, and they can provide further assistance or information on the status of your application.

Looking at the screengrab you shared, you're still missing some documentation to complete the verification. Can you please click "Continue" to upload what's missing?
