Hi, I just created a new account. I entered in all the information, but when I try to put in the address the street section is greyed out I tried out everything clearing out the cache, using a different browser and computer too.
I think I entered the location (initially) where I live from a different IP (as I am on holidays). I even tried to put this location. Could you please tell me how to fix this because it does not let me go any further
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi Susan,
I'm sorry you are having trouble getting support and completing your address. We've found that similar issues have typically been resolved by slowly pacing your typing, by pausing in between numbers and words, and also by avoiding any abbreviations. Generally, by adhering to these best practices, your address should automatically appear in a dropdown, and when it does, please click on your address.
Here are some specifics regarding abbreviations:
Also, you can separate each portion of your address with a comma, all within the “Enter street address” bar. Your address should automatically appear as you proceed with typing out the information. If not, you should see the 'Enter address manually' option after typing your address slowly.

Hi Susan,
Thank you for reaching out, and I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble adding your address. Could you please make sure you're using a supported browser? Does it give you the option to enter the address manually? If so, you may enter your full address using that. Please see this screenshot for your reference. If not, please let me know so I can have the Customer Support team further assist you with this. Looking forward to your confirmation.

Hi,
I am trying to set up a new freelancer profile and the system says my address doesn't exist although my house has been here for more than 35 years and I have never had this issue ever on any other type of sites. I can't save my profile without it. Does anyone have any suggestions as I can't seem to get in touch with a human at upwork to help me.
Thanks.
Susan

Hi, I'm new to this, and I'm confused as to why my home address is not coming up as a real address. It is indeed my real address!
How do I submit a ticket? It seems ridiculous that there is no email address to send questions to. I tried using the bot and it was no help at all.

Hi Emily,
Have you tried clearing your browser cache and cookies or trying a different browser and then entering your address manually instead? Could you please share a screenshot of the error message that you're getting so we can investigate further?

It says fail to verify address when creating my profile. It won't let me finish creating my profile without my street address yet it says it doesn't exist? There is no phone or email help line. Can anyone help? I've spent a good 20 minutes on trying to figure this out.

Hello!
I am new to Upwork and on the last portion of completing my profile, I was trying to enter my address; however, it will not automatically populate and when I type my address in manually, it says "No results found."
How can I get my address inputed so that I can complete my profile? I contacted the support chat bot and it directed me to the Upwork Academy (which didn't have answers for this particular issue) and here, to the Upwork Community. Screenshot attached.
I'd appreciate any advice or help!
Thanks,
Bre

The address is correct, but gives this message when I hit "Review your profile": This address could not be found. Try to select another from the list.
It's my address and it's accurate. Any fixes?

Hello Aatikah R,
Thank you for reaching out, and I understand that you are having trouble adding your address.
Please try this https://url.upwork.com/_01cKzyC0X9UqC2KD5-ymVwglAH1DpviJjG look for the line that says "start typing your address". The 2nd line is the one greyed out.
I hope this resolves your issue.

I'm trying to complete signup, but I can't add my address. When I type in the street address field, it doesn't list my address as one of the options. It simply doesn't seem to recognise such a street exists in my city (for what it's worth I suspect it's missing a lot of them - my street name is a very common one, my house is a low number, and yet it only offers five options)

Hi Deborah,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we apologize if you are having trouble completing your address. If your address isn't on the suggestion list, please click the" Enter address manually." option to enter your completed address. It would look like this:

Hi,
My address is not found in the dropdown menu, which means that I am unable to complete my profile. There is no option to fill it in manually. I can't complete the profile till the address is filled in, which is really frustrating!

Sep 23, 2023 09:22:05 AM by Luiggi R
Hi Elisabeth,
I'm sorry you're having trouble entering your address. Do you by any chance get the option to "Enter your address manually" when you fill out the "Street address" field? If so, try clicking that option and entering your address once again. Let us know if the issue persists after you've tried it, and we'll be happy to help.

I just spent an hour creating a new profile, but it won't let me manually enter my address. When I try, it just tells me my address was not found and I need to pick an address from the list. The "list" consists of four address in Boardman Oregon.
Maybe there's a web designer on upwork who you could hire to fix this.

The characters of my current address on my CNIC and bank statement are too long. The allowed characters limit on Upwork personal contact info is not enough for the complete address.
Kindly guide me to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Hi there!
I’m currently trying to make an Upwork profile, but my address isn’t recognised by the system: I’ve tried entering the address manually, but it won’t let me finish creating my profile (it just says ‘this address cannot be found; try to select another from the list’).
I've had a look through the forum and noticed that some other folk have had this issue, but the tips (eg refreshing, entering your address more slowly) don't seem to be working for me.
Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks! 🙂
