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.

I have uploaded all required documents to verify my ID @and it has been over 72 hours. I am now receiving notice that my account will be suspended if my ID cannot be verified. The banner shows that my documents should have been verified within one business day but it is past 72 hours and I do not want my account suspended. I have a contract that starts within 2 days.

Hi Ayse,

 

It doesn't look like you need to verify your account yet. Please know that verification cannot be requested, but is slowly being rolled out to users of Upwork. If the team finds the need to verify your account, you will be notified through an email, or through a notification in your account with more information on how you can complete the verification process.

Hello!

 

I recently get my 1st order on Upwork and Upwork tell me to verify id verification, so I uploaded my id verification and get my selfie verification bla bla, and then there was written that your id verification will take 1-3 business days. But there are 7+ days a go but my id verification still doesn't get verified. I also tried many times and again still don't verify my original id. What is the reason?

Ibrahim's avatar

There could be a number of reasons why your ID verification is taking longer than expected. It's possible that there was an issue with the quality of the image you uploaded, or there may be a backlog of ID verifications that is causing delays.

I recommend reaching out to Upwork support for further assistance with this issue. They will be able to provide more information about the status of your ID verification and help troubleshoot any issues that may be causing delays.

Can someone help me, please? I want to make my account verified, but I can't see the verification option/button in the settings. Why?

Hi Ralph,

 

I have checked your account and looks like it doesn't need further verification just yet. 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.

Hi Upwork Support,

 

Guys, WHATS GOING ON????

 

I uploaded a VALID! driver's license, but received an incompetent response that they do not fit because the "PHOTO IS YOUNG".  WHAT?

I have never heard such an answer from anyone (when driving a car, etc.). Again, this is a VALID DOCUMENT, and i cant update photo on it (it is issued only once).

 

Please resolve the issue as soon as possible, as I am not able to send another document right now (because of the situation in my country) and it is on the list of those that are accepted. It's outrageous to hear such answer from you.

 

I have been your user since 2007 when you were still called Odesk. I've never had problems before.

Will check for verification status update asap.

Thank you.
