Hi Roman,

 

If you are eligible or required to receive an “Identity Verified” badge, you can complete the two stages by going to Identity Verification in your Settings.

 

You may be asked to complete a visual verification and provide a valid government-issued ID. Acceptable documents include passport, national ID card (NIC/CNIC), driver's license, NBI Clearance (Philippines only), tax ID, voter ID, postal ID, or any other valid government-issued photo ID that meets these criteria.

 

Note that we occasionally ask users to re-verify because periodic checks ensure their accounts continue to reflect accurate information. Our goal is to make this process as seamless as possible and we thank you for your contribution to keeping Upwork a professional and safe community.



If you don't see a way to verify, that may be because you're not eligible yet. Please know that verification cannot be requested, but is slowly being rolled out to all talent. If the team finds the need to verify your account, you will be notified through an email, or through a notification in your account.

First You Have To Change You Profile Photo And Update New With Full Face And Without Any Face Cover & Sunglasses

Because Your Profile Photo will Match With You Government Id 

And You Can Check Identify Verification

So how can I get a Verified Blue Tick Badge on Upwork?

I wonder if this is a good approach, as I am thinking some new freelancer without ID verified yet may be overlooked by clients, why would someone look at me if they cannot see I have my ID verified, which puts nebies at disadvantage.

I opened my account last week and I've not been sent a ID verification mail to verify my identity.

Is it a must for all users to receive the mail,cause I haven't received mine and I feel it's getting late

Hi Similoluwa,

 

Please note that you will not be able to initiate the identity verification yourself and it cannot be requested. If the team finds the need for you to do it, you will receive an email detailing the instructions on how to complete your verification. You may want to check this help article for more information.

Hello, I've submitted the scan copy of my passport for "ID document verification". It has been almost 5 days but it is not verified yet. I've completed one job and I also have on going job on upwork. If it is not verified by 8th September my profile might be on hold.
What should I do now ?

Hi Sazid Ahmed,

 

I have reached out to the team handling your case and they confirmed that your ID has been verified. You should see the ID Verified badge on your profile as confirmation. Let me know if you need further assistance.

Hello! I had tried to upload my ID but failed quite a few times because I couldn't get the photo exactly right. Now, It says that In order to be able to try again I need to contact customer support since I ran out of attempts. The only issue is though, is that when I go to try and contact customer support, nothing shows up. It automatically sends me to the bot support chat- which doesn't help me whatsoever. I can't find where to contact- and nowhere I look leads me to it.

 

Any help would be great.

The same exact thing has been happening to me and I haven't gotten any support for it. The chat bot is very unhelpful and I wish that there was a phone number I could call instead of waiting several days for a response back.

Hello!
I need to get verified. I am a citizen of the Russian Federation and now I live in Ukraine. I have a rental agreement for an apartment and a utility bill. Can I just take a picture of these documents and send them (they are in the official language of Ukraine - Ukrainian)? Or do I need to translate these documents from Ukrainian into English? My name is on these documents, but it is written in Ukrainian. What should be done?
