Hi Darren,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Just for clarity, if you wish to use Upwork as a freelancer and a client, you can do so from the same account, you don't need to have a separate account for each of your profiles. Can you please click on my name and send me a PM with the registered email address of the account in question? I'll be happy to help.

I already sent you a PM. Kindly check and assist me. Thank you

Hi Giorgi,

Thank you for reaching out to us. Could you please click on my name and send me a PM with more information about the email adress you are referring to? I will be sure to look into your message and assist you accordingly.

Please know that freelancers are not allowed to have more than one account on Upwork, regardless of the old account being closed, or suspended. Having multiple freelancer accounts is a serious violation of the Upwork Terms of Service.

I messaged you. Please check inbox

Karla M · ‎05-23-2022

The problem is that it was linked to my google account. I was able to sign in with one click.

I thought I was closing only my client account but I deleted both a client and a freelancer account linked to my google account.

Can a moderator please help me get it back?

Arjay M · ‎05-23-2022

Hi Karla,

I have checked your account and I can see that you've already reached out to our team for assistance. A support ticket has been created and I suggest you continue communicating through that ticket for updates.

Karla M · ‎05-25-2022

Someone reached out but I've sent her messages and she hasn't replied. It looks like the ticked above is marked "resolved". I have not reached a solution. Can you open another ticket or open that one back again?

Joanne P · ‎05-25-2022

Hi Karla,

It looks like you have sent a follow-up to the team already. Please allow them time to check and send you an update on the same ticket to assist further.

Serhii B · ‎05-24-2022

Hi!
I closed my unused account some time ago and now I want to create an account from scratch with actual information. But the system doesn't allow me to reuse email from the closed account, and also I cannot log in to the previous account. How I can solve this problem?
Also, I created this new account to contact support.

Nikola S · ‎05-24-2022

Neha K · ‎05-24-2022

I had an existing upwork account and am attempting to create a new one for use with my new agency.

I closed the old account, but I can't complete the verification process on my new account because it says my phone number is already in use.

Can someone from upwork support please help me with this issue?

Arjay M · ‎05-24-2022

Hi Neha,

I certainly understand your concern and we appreciate you reaching out to us. We can reinstate your old account but you need to close this new account to avoid violating our TOS. Please note that you're only allowed to have one Upwork account. Having a duplicate accounting is a violation of Upwork TOS. Don't worry, I'll have one of our team members reach out to you directly via support ticket to assist you further with your concern.

Fai X · ‎05-25-2022

Hello,

I am a user who wants to register for an Upwork account. After I closed my original account, I found that I couldn't sign up with the same email. The web page shows: "This email is already in use." Is there any way to solve this problem?

Thank you very much for your help, which is very important to me.

Valeria K · ‎06-01-2022

Hi Fai,

Since freelancers can only create one account on Upwork, it's not possible to sign up for another account with the same email. However, we could assist with reopening the original account and closing the new one. Let us know here or feel free to contact customer support via the Get Support button here if you need assistance with that.
