ID Verification Taking Too Long

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.

Hey How are you?
I am trying identity verification for past 5 days.
First, I upload my ID card and it says "It should only take a minute" but after 30 minutes, nothing happens.
I uploaded my ID card on Friday and it said it will take 1 business day but after 3 business days, nothing happened. So, I tried it again but nothing happened. 
Please help
Thank You

Hello Avery, 

 

Unfortunately I am experiencing the exact same issue. It's been almost a week and it's still stuck on the same message 'We're reviewing your ID, which can take up to 1 business day.' I've even tried to upload different pictures but to no avail. A speedy response would be much appreciated. Thanks.id_ver_sc.PNG

Hi there! 

I am having the same issue as all these lovely people above. I have potential clients that can't find my restricted page and it's pushing them away! I already submitted my ID and face. 

Possibly to avoid this issue in the future for everyone, Upwork could require ID verification for sign up?

Hi Leah,

 

I'm sorry to hear how has this affected you. I escalated your concern to the relevant team and can confirm that you should no longer see the restriction on your end. Don't hesitate to let us know if you need further assistance.
