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 Kaye,

 

I checked and it doesn't look like you are required to complete any verification at the moment. The team will let you know if there is a need for any verification in the future.

Hi,

Recently my agency invited me to join Upwork as an agency member after I had created the account there is red alert message appeared called (Identity (ID) Verification) and when I clicked on Get Started button popup opened in shows the name of our agency manager.

 

I have tried many times but it doesn't work I have removed myself from an agency member and tried again but it is still showing the manager's name.

 

Seems like it locked the name of my manager and I didn't see any way to change the name on the identity verification form.

 

How can I put my name on the identity form for verification?

 

Regards

Hi,

My I.D. card has expired, which I added to verification, but I got renewed Id. So, my question is, do I need to re-add this new identification card for verification, or not?

Thanks and regards,

Kamran

Hi,

I'm trying to verify my Identity on Upwork as Freelancer. My location and Visual verification got verified instantly as I submitted on

15th-Sep-2022, I also submitted my Government ID for verification at the same time. That's still pending, but I'm getting a notification to verify before 22th(Please check screenshot). What I can do, cause I only have 2 days left. 

Thank you

Hi, I'm new to Upwork. I already think my profile is 100%. I have already filled in the Fiscal data for Billing. And I also already entered the bank information. I know that I should do identity validation, but I don't know where it is done. I don't see access to it. I do not know if I should wait for an email, where I am asked for the interview to do Identity Validation?.

I would like if I should wait for the Upwork team to contact me, or what is done in that regard?

Greetings. Thank you very much.!

Hi Annabella Ivonne,

 

Firstly, welcome to Upwork! I can confirm that your account 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.
