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.

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I removed the account and joined with my own Payoneer account but payments can not be withdrawn as the same issue of identity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

Hi Rumaisa,

 

Thank you for your message. I have followed up with the team handling your request and one of our team members has already reached you via your registered email address.

Yes, thanks for letting me know but the issue still seems to remain. I was required to update my profile photo which I have done now but I still got "unable to process your ID at this time"

Hello,

 

I've submitted my ID for verification yesterday it is showing the "We're reviewing your ID, which can take up to 1-3 business days." note. How long does this usually take?

And my visual verification taking too long to get verify. it says "We are reviewing your selfie which typically takes a few minutes, but could take up to 1 business day." I uploaded it yesterday.

Hi Abhishek,

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.'

Hi Kaitlen,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. I have also reached out directly to the team handling your case and one of the members has reached out to you via email with more information and instructions on how to complete the process. Feel free to coordinate if you have questions or need further assistance.

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?

Thanks in advance for your reply

I can't access the identity-verification page, it says 404 found

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

Hi, your upwork profile ID is verified but I can't verify it says 404 found what can I do?

Hi Polvon,

 

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

My id got verified... again showing its pendjng

Hi Rekha Be patient Upwork is not available for 48 hours then it will be verified  

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

I got mail like 

I dont have last full name.. I have Rekha s in my ID card... I don't know what the hell is going on

Hi Rekha,

 

Thank you for your message. Please don't hesitate to follow up with the relevant team directly on the same support ticket if you have additional questions regarding your concern.

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 🙂

Hi Nabeel,

 

Thanks for reaching out. You should go to this page and follow the steps to provide the required documents for your verification. If there's any problem with the information you provide, the relevant team will contact you and let you know if there's anything else you need to do on your end.
