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.

Hello,

 

I have waited for over a week to receive an email with information on how to re-submit my ID verification. Is there anyway to speed up this process? Or, at least, get a response? 

I have become exhuasted by the Get Support chatbot and when the phone support service would not help me since I am 'not an enterprise.'

Hello, I want to verify my identity, but the passport photo is not very clear, if I send this blurry photo to the workplace, will it block me?

When I try to verify my identity, it says 404 found, can we just ignore it?

Please refer to my response to you on your previous post. The ID verification cannot be requested.

Hello Rekha,
 
We have reviewed your submission for ID verification. Unfortunately, we were unable to approve the ID because the profile name on your Upwork account violates the policy governing profile names.

The profile name on your Upwork account must meet the following criteria:
1-First name and last name may not include initials only
2-First name and last name cannot include names of companies, fictitious names, made-up words, etc.
3-First name and last name may not include qualifications or honorifics such as Dr. Mr. Mrs. Ph.D. etc.
 
You need to update your profile name. Please log in at Upwork.com and go to Settings-> Contact Info.
 
Best practices for images include:
- Do not crop or alter your image
- Ensure all four corners of your ID are visible
- The image should be clear and in color
- The ID should be a valid government-issued photo ID (not a digital copy, expired or temporary)
 
Once you are ready to resubmit, access your Upwork account Settings and click the Identity Verification tab to continue

Hi. I'm Nabeel Asad. I joined Upwork last week and got my first order 2 days after. The moment I got hired, there was a message saying to verify my id. It also had links to Upwork's documentation for ID Verification. I understood all of the things but still I have some problems. I would be very grateful if anyone can help me with the following:

 

• The Address on my ID Card is of my Home Town, but I live in another city. And I've inserted my current address in my profile. Upwork's ID Verification Documentation says that both addresses must match.? What should I do?

• I shaved my head a month ago. Although I have quite a lot of hair, still I'm afraid that the pic on my ID Card and the pic that I'll take to verify my id will not match.

 

I must verify my id by 25/01/2023. If anyone can, then please help me as soon as possible.

 

Thank You so much for your time 🙂
