Hello, I'm sat here losing my mind actually.
So I had issues with my Payoneer card and my account was disabled. But I did not remove it from my Upwork. Got a message 8 days ago from Upwork that I needed to reverify. I sent my digital NATIONAL ID on my phone to verify, it was rejected three times even though I explained several times. Used Friday and Monday to process a new one at the local government building in my city and got the official national identity slip I used to verify my account in the first place. It just got rejected again. WAS told it's a photocopy that a colored one is needed. On my life I have never seen a colored version of the official national identity slip in my country. Only colored thing I know we have is the identity card itself and that takes months to process. HELP
How will I get color when that's the official thing here and I actually also used it to register on Every single platform I've ever needed to reg my national identity on?
Dying...
Edit: The slip is issued by the NATIONAL IDENTITY MANAGEMENT COMMISSION (NIMC), Nigeria.

Hi Olatunde,
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.
Please note that your profile must represent you as an individual and that all the information in your profile, including your profile photo, needs to be accurate, truthful, and verifiable. We understand you may have provided a name and/or picture that you would like to update now. If that’s the case, and you’re being asked to verify your identity now, please proceed with submitting your ID and completing your Visual Verification anyways. If there is any issue or mismatch, our team will reach out to you directly to assist you.
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.

As Upwork can see its says you get mail or reply in 24 to 48 hours but still from 16 days i don't think they reply back regarding my mail or request as they are too busy with other things.

Hello there, hope you are well. I have one question and I hope that someone will ease my troubles. I received an email that I need to confirm my identity again. That's what I did when I first registered. The first step is to send a picture of the ID document, which I did this morning. Now I'm waiting for it to be checked, but as step 3, it says that the visual identification has been done, and at the moment I haven't even gotten to that part. That's not the only thing that confuses me. I have been living in Serbia for 4 years, but I am a citizen of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which means that I have sent a photo of my passport of Bosnia and Herzegovina. I hope it won't be a problem, because so far I haven't had any problems working on this platform. I look forward to any response and wish everyone a pleasant rest of the day.
