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 to verify my id on Upwork, but every time I upload my id (CNIC card in my case) I receive a message that Upwork is reviewing my ID it usually takes 1 to 3 business days, which is understandable, but each time I go into settings for ID verification to check if it has been verified or not, it shows that I need to upload my id again. I have uploaded my id many times and this keeps happening again, kindly help me in this regard

Hi, 

I received an email today that my account will be suspended in the next two days if I don't verify it. I had to run around to get my National verification slip. But the verification is still pending at the moment. How long will the verification of the account take? Secondly, will my account still be suspended if my documents don't get verified in the next two days? Please, I need clarity on this. Thanks.

Sudan is no longer restricted by US OFAC sanctions, but Upwork does not offer service in your country at this time. I shared your report with our team and one of our agents will reach out to you using a support ticket to assist you further.

Hi,

I have a problem with identity verification. Firstly, I'm a newbie at Upwork and didn't have a Payoneer account. So I joined my brother's Payoneer account in payment methods. Then when payments are scheduled to withdraw then faced rejection and the identity verification problem. Now I have this warning as shown below:

Now when I try to verify my identity it gives me my brother's name instead of mine in the verification process as you can see below:

Please help to solve this problem.

Thanks

Hi Moazzam,

Remove payoneer account and add your own payoneer or bank account. You don't need payoneer account if you have a bank account. After that complete the process.

I removed the account and joined with my own Payoneer account but payments can not be withdrawn as the same issue of identity

I had almost same issue and that got resolved by using same name as one in bank account and ID card. Why not just use bank account? Fiverr require Payoneer, Upwork can send it directly to your local rupee bank account.

Hi Upwork community,

 

I got my first ever invite on Wednesday and as soon as the contract was initiated, I was asked for id and selfie verification. I understand that the id takes upto 3 business days to get verified, but the selfie should only take upto 1 business day and now it's been more than that.

 

Can someone kindly help? I'm afraid of my account being suspended as I'm getting quite a good response.
