Hello,
I've submitted my ID for verification a while ago, but it is still showing the "We're reviewing your documents and will get back to you within 1 business day." note. How long does this usually take?
Would appreciate your urgent support with this process as we need to hire freelancers.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi Arjay, thank you.
With the ID and needing it to have an address on, South African IDs and even Drivers do not have those details on them. So I am not sure how that will impact the validation. The dirvers licenses are the only ones that have signatures.
Not sure how this works or if you guys have had people from SA on here before

Hi Reece,
Thank you for your message. I see that you have already submitted your documents. Please allow 1-3 business days for the team to review and update your account.
Thank you,
Pradeep

The 1-3 business days is my concern, as my account had the deadline of next week Monday and today is Thursday, so that leaves 2 days and the uncertainty that I now won't be paid. So hopefully you can understand this unnecessary stress this process is adding.
if I may make two suggestions, please make use of onfindo, the turn around time for verification is a lot better. And secondly maybe make new registers aware of this need if they intend to do business on the platform.

Maybe given the limbo state of this situation, should I continue to persue my proposals and an active job that I am doing on upwork? As my client has already paid into escrow and 90% of the work is complete...

Hi Arjay, it seems many other people seem to have success with this better and alsways have their tickets moved up while I sit here not having a response or acknowledgement that anything has progressed?
I submitted my Government ID the other day and still no response or update if I need to do anything.

Hi Luiggi, thank you for confirming everything. I see know in the support area the actual reason for the first attempt being delayed. The support ticket section doesn't send messages to an email.
Thank you.

Hello,
I have a similar issue to a few people that have posted here and received the support.
Last Thrusday I have received a message "Verify your identity by 05/11/2023 UTC to continue winning jobs on Upwork". I have uploaded my ID and selfie imediately but it still says that it is being reviewed. With the 05/11/2023 deadline being very close I am really worried I will be suspended if my identification isn't reviewed on time. Please help.
Kind regards,
Audrius

Hi Yousef,
I've reached out to the team handling your case and submitted a follow-up with the status of your ID verification. It looks like there's only one part of the process that needs to be reviewed and the team has reached out with more details about that via email. Feel free to coordinate with the team if you have questions or need further assistance.
