Hi Muhammad,

 

If you need help verifying your email, we’ll need to ask you to confirm some private account details in order to help you. At Upwork, protecting your privacy is our priority. With this in mind, it would be best if you reach out directly to our support team so they can assist you within a private and secure channel of communication. 

 

How do I reach a human in customer support?

 

  1. Please visit Contact Support and click the ‘Chat with Upwork' button.
  2. Type a question or topic and select ‘Send’. The bot will find relevant Help articles for you.
  3. The chatbot will ask you to confirm if you need additional help. If you confirm that you need additional help, you will be asked to confirm the account type you need help with.
  4. From there, the support options available to you will be listed. Select either of the options to be able to contact the Upwork Support Team.

thx in advance

hi guys 

11 days ago I recieved a mail that I need to verify my ID , followed the link to see what I can send to verify and I only found 2 ways available in Egypt, a passport or a visa 

and I have none of those, tried sending my driving license but it doesn't work, contacted support center and said that in a ticket and no reply since 11 days 

now I'm having this msg (Action required: Verify your identity by 06/19/2023 UTC to continue winning jobs on Upwork. Get started.)

any suggestions ? 😞

I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you're experiencing with the identity verification process on Upwork. Since Upwork has specific requirements for identity verification, it's important to follow their guidelines to continue working on the platform. Here are a few suggestions you can consider:

  1. Reach out to Upwork Support: If you haven't received a response to your initial support ticket, I recommend following up with Upwork's support center again. Explain the situation, including the fact that you don't have a passport or visa but have tried to provide your driving license as an alternative. They should be able to assist you further or provide alternative options for verification.

  2. Provide additional documentation: If your driving license isn't being accepted, you could inquire with Upwork Support about any other forms of identification they might accept for verification in Egypt. They may have specific requirements that are not clearly outlined in their documentation.

  3. Seek local guidance: Consider contacting your local government office or relevant authorities in Egypt to inquire about obtaining a valid identification document that meets Upwork's requirements for verification. They may be able to provide guidance or alternative options.

  4. Temporary workarounds: While I don't recommend this as a long-term solution, you could temporarily pause bidding on new jobs or winning projects until you have resolved the verification issue. This way, you can focus on resolving the identity verification matter without the pressure of upcoming deadlines.

Remember that Upwork's guidelines and requirements are in place to ensure the security and integrity of the platform for all users. It's important to comply with their policies to maintain your account's eligibility. I recommend persisting in your communication with Upwork Support to find a solution that works for your specific situation.

Hey,

I haven't received any verification email, even after trying to resend it multiple times. Now it says I've reached my verification email limit.

What should I do?

Thank you.

Neither the inbox nor the junk mail or even spam include any verification email from Upwork! And I see that it is a common problem! Please fix it!

Hi,

I am logged in but unable to verify the account as it requires a verification code via SMS.
I have requested the code to be sent many times and yet no SMS received.

 

Yes, I have tested my phone can receive SMS by others.

Please help.

I've made an account with Upwork and I am stuck at the verification of my email step because I am not recieving any verification mails. I've tried for hours on end but even after requesting multiple resends, the mail just won't come.
