Having difficulty as a Nigerian to verify your ID using NIN?

Once you have NIN slip, you can use it for your ID verification. Just ensure it is well snapped and ensure the name, address on it tally with the ones on your profile.

Hi Pradeep, 

The system is rejecting my Digital NIN. I need to get verified as soon as possible. I have a contract pending and deadline to meet. Please do the manual verification if possible.

Hi Victor,

 

I can see that you've coordinated with the appropriate team via a support ticket about this error when trying to verify your ID. Could you please try clearing your browser's cache and cookies before logging back into your account? You may also use a different browser or the incognito mode of the current one.

 

Once logged in, you may go to Settings> Identity Verification to proceed with completing the ID verification. Let us know if you need further assistance afterward; we'll look into that for you.

Good Day LuiggiR,

I have been trying to verify my upwork account using my NIN slip. I haven't been able to capture it, it keeps saying it cannot find the four corners of my ID. Please I need help. What can I do? I cannot get any offer or withdraw unless I am verified.

I'm a Nigerian, and as one you only get an NIN slip as an ID or a digital ID Card. But for some reason it keeps getting rejcted by upwork. I tried sending mails to Upwork and was redirected to use the support forum. Please my contract will be suspended in 5 days, and my client is likely to cancel if I dont't get this done before then.

I look forward to y'all's response. I'M LITERALLY TRAPPED!!

Hey Joshua, just wanted to share how I successfully resolved this same issue. I managed to overcome it by utilizing my digital ID card, albeit in a slightly unconventional way – I ended up using another phone to simulate the ID card. But hey, it got the job done!
