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 Everyone,
Can I verify my Upwork identity through my Passport ID because my national ID has expired and I will renew my national ID after 1 month?
Whenever I need to re-verify my identity verification I will use my national ID instead of my passport ID, Is that possible?
Also, please let me know how long it will take to re-verify my identification on Upwork.
I have 6 days left.

Hi Abubaker,
Thank you for your message. Yes, you can upload your passport to complete the verification as long as it includes the information registered on your Upwork account.
Thank you,
Pradeep

Hi Md Arif,
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.

Hello Upwork,
I got a request to verify my identity before 8th, and get a verification badge. I submitted all details and passed everything except for the ID verification which I was told will take about 1-3 business days, it's past three business days now, but it's still under review. Please help, as I wouldn't like my account temporarily suspended

Hi Zubair,

Hello guys, I just wanted to check if any of you had similar problems to me, all unnecessary documents were sent as well as the picture, but it's been 4 days, and still no response from them. I made sure that the document was clean and 100% acceptable, also the picture was just like it needed to be but still nothing from them.
Is this normal or I should try to do something, thank you.

My ID verification is also taking forever to be approved. I think it should've been done by now, it's been 3 days at least. Can anyone help with this?
Nov 7, 2022 02:29:00 PM by Maira M
Upwork send me a notification last week asking me to verify my identity. I sand my Id photo and selfie, but today when I entered in the app still have the same message. So I upload another photo, but I couldn't be able to share a new selfie.
I'm worried with this process, because the message in app is that I only have more 2 days to verify but the message after loading my photo was of 1-3 days of verifing photo/selfie.
Someone can check out, please, how is my process?

Hi!
A few days ago I got this notification: Action required: Verify your identity by 11/12/2022 UTC to continue winning jobs on Upwork.
I went through all steps (I took picture of my national ID and selfie), but I'm still waiting for a review.
What can I do now?
The deadline is close.
