Identity (ID) Verification

[#1]

there is no menu item for verification by ID when I follow the link there is no such page either ... what is the problem please help me to pass verification. thanks

[#2]

There is no option in the setting to verify my ID but I cannot start filling job proposals until this is completed. What can I do?

Hi Gafonse,

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. 

Please note that you can still submit proposals to potential clients even without verifying your account. You may want to check this help article for more information.

Hello there, can anyone, please let me know, i fill the steps for id verifications on yesterday. And i didn't get any response yet. Upwork had email me again to follow the steps and verify the account. But the options are hide to fill again. Please any one help to verify my account.  Today's last day of verification.

Hi I'm a new freelancer at Upwork and recently I've been trying to verify my identity in the settings. The first time I tried verifying I made a mistake by uploading a fake profile picture(a picture from Google), then I got an email saying that my account cannot be verifying due to an ummatching profile picture. So I uploaded a real picture of my face and tried to verify again. Today I got an email saying that my account will be suspended if I will not verify it. I don't know if they got my second email or not. Did it happen to anyone too that can tell me what I can do? I'm bit nervous...

Hi Ilay,

To verify your Upwork ID, follow these steps:

1. Log into your Upwork account and click on the "Settings" tab in the top menu.

2. Under the "Account Settings" section, click on the "Verify Identity" tab.

3. Follow the on-screen instructions to upload a clear, high-quality photo of your government-issued ID (e.g., driver's license, passport, or national ID card). Make sure that the ID is valid and not expired.

4. Submit the ID for verification by clicking on the "Submit for Verification" button.

5. Wait for Upwork to review and verify your ID. This process may take up to 72 hours.

6. If your ID is successfully verified, you will receive a notification from Upwork. If your ID is not verified, you may need to provide additional documentation or try again with a different ID.

Note: If you are unable to verify your ID online, you may be able to verify your ID in person at a local Upwork office or through a video call with an Upwork representative. Contact Upwork customer support for more information on these options.

Upwork removed this option from the setting 

I couldn't believe keep reading these comments

UPWORK ITS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A JOB AS UNVERIFIED FREELANCER

[#10]

becsuse I've never seen the verification option you accessed, just start over

[#11]

I can't apply to any position because it ask me to verify my ID. But whenever I click "Verify your ID" button, it redirects me to a blank page. Already cleared cache & cookies but same thing. Also made a report about this to your support

[#12]

Hi, I just got my first contract and identity verification was requested after I accepted the contract. I provided the requested information right away. My question is, if for any reason Upwork rejects my identity verification, what will happen to my account? Will I be able to still working on my current contract? Will I have some problems getting my payments?

I can't respond to projects. They ask me to verify and send me to a blank page (((
I can't reply to more than one project! Everywhere they ask for verification and by clicking on the button they are sent to an empty page.

P.S. Is this a bug or a feature?

I did my ID verification 3 days back & haven't heard back. I am getting an email that my account will get suspended on 24 December. Also I am getting an email that identity verification is past due though I did it few days back. Will I still be able to work on my current contract and submit work to the clients even if my account gets suspended?
