Hello,

I've submitted my documents for identity verification on Monday and it's still showing that they're reviewing my documents.

Also yesterday I got an email saying that my ID verification is past due and this morning i got another email saying that I have 24 hours to submitt my ID verification or my account will be suspended even though I went through the process a 3 days ago.

I'm very confused.

I would really appreciate an urgent response to this.

Hi Connor,

Thank you for your message. I am pleased to inform you that your account is verified now.

Thank you,

Dear Upwork Support Team,

I am a new member of Upwork and I recently applied for id verification. However, it has been more than a day and my request has not been completed yet. I am concerned about the delay and would like to know if there are any issues or problems with my request.

As a new member, it is important for me to have access to all the features and opportunities on Upwork. I rely on this platform to find work as a freelancer, and not being able to access certain features due to my incomplete verification can be frustrating.

I would greatly appreciate if you could provide an update on the status of my verification and let me know if there are any delays or issues that I should be aware of. Any assistance in this matter would be much appreciated.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

Farhan Ali

Dear Upwork team, I had uploaded my identity documents 4 days ago but the verification is still stuck at "we are reviewing your documents, it .ay take upto 3 business days" However it's been more than 4 days now.

Please help me!

[ArjayM]

Hi Samyak,

I reached out to the team handling your ID review and I'm pleased to inform you that it's been approved. Please see your ID Verified badge on your profile as confirmation. Let me know if you need further assistance.

I have been getting emails every day to verify my ID or else my account & new work contract will be suspended. I took a perfectly clear picture of my driver's license yesterday and when I uploaded it, it was rejected for some reason. So I tried again, then I did the selfie verification and it says they're under review. I  have no options to expedite the process (it absolutely should not take more than a few seconds) and I just got another email saying they're going to suspend my account and cancel my contract if my ID isn't verified in 24 hours! It's in Upwork's hands though - not my hands.

I'm so upset. It's impossible to actually speak to a customer service agent. Please can someone put me in touch with an actual live person? I really need help - the ID verification is not working for me, and the automated system is not addressing my needs at all. I'm so upset and frustrated...

Just reach out to get some help via emailing the support team at support@upwork.com.

Or, just take a moment to wait here, and some mediators will get in touch with you to help when they see this post. 

All of them are real human beings; it's not hard to ask them for help, so don't be upset or frustrated.

Why can't my account be verified? I have entered all the information, the identification process is taking a long time!

Hello,I've already submitted all information's regarding id verification about 2days ago still my id didn't verified yet. Today is the last date of my id verification, please verify my identity verification as soon as possible thank you.

[gassen013]

on 22 December I got a warning saying: Action required: Verify your identity by 12/28/2022 UTC to continue winning jobs on Upwork. Get started.
so I uploaded a picture of my passport and took a selfie with my phone.
both my photo and passport stayed at reviewing for 3 days until today(25 December) when I checked again and found that my passport picture got rejected without telling me the reason. My selfie is still in review, so I uploaded my government ID, which is in black and white and in Arabic, and have my photo, my name, and my date of birth but doesn't have my signature, and it is still in review.
so my questions are:
why is my picture taking all this time in review(more than 3 days), when it stayed that it normally takes up to one day in review?
why did my passport picture get rejected, and why didn't I get a notification when it get rejected (I have to click the link and check by myself)?
will my government ID, which is in black and white, Arabic, and doesn't have my picture get accepted, and if not how can I delete it and upload a new ID?
why I am still getting this warning when I can't do anything about it (since my selfie and photo ID are in review)?

Hi, I've been requested to verify my ID last week so I've uploaded the passport picture and my selfie as well. 

But then today I got another reminder for the verification again and found out that there was a notice saying the you could not proceed the ID verification (no clear reason explained). So I've uploaded the same passport picture again and am waiting.

I have only two days left (until 27th) before the suspension. Please help with specific guideline or a way to solve this.

I had first submitted my PAN Card for ID Verification but my photo in it was not clear so I was told to resubmit another government document. I have already resubmitted my other government document, passport, for ID Verification. My account will be suspended tomorrow if my ID does not get verified by today and I might loose the contract I am currently working on.

Please look into the matter and help me out with this.

Hello Upwork community!

I'am an opera singer, and vocal coach and I'am new to Upwork.

I've completed 100% my profile, but the mail for the ID Verification process, still haven't arrived. 

I wanted to ask, do I need to upgrade my profile, do I need to do something else so I can verify my profile, or I just need to wait?

Thank you in advance,
