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.

Hi Annie Jane,
I'm kinda exhausted as I have already provided my NBI clearance but still no emails were sent regarding confirmation of my identity. It's been a month that I've not received a confirmation. I cannot opt to use selfie verification as no information is available in my profile. Please assist.
Mar 30, 2023 08:52:43 AM by Andrea G
Hi Christine,
I checked and it looks like you were able to complete the verification that was requested by the team. Please note that this verification request was not related to the Identity Verification Badge.
Mar 30, 2023 10:28:44 AM by Christine Joy G
Alright, then how would I be able to have the verification badge? The only one that's missing is visual verification and it doesn't have the option in my profile. Please respond. Thanks!

Thank you for the reply. I decided to follow up here because I know for a fact that the identity slips in my country are never in color form. The only difference is I uploaded it immediately after I got it yesterday from the local government office instead of laminating it first. I was told to laminate and only release for official purposes. Imagine my shock when I'm told to upload a colored slip ha

Hi Pradeep,
Thank you so much on this but may I know if there's a TAT (Turn Around Time) for this Identity Verification roll out? Since I've been using my upwork account since Dec 2022, and already sending proposals to various prospect clients, not knowing this Identity Verified badge.
Thank you

Hi Yenz,
I am unable to tell you the time window for the verification request. The team will notify you when they need you to verify your account.

Hello,
I'm. a US-based freelancer.
Every time I log into my account and look for jobs, I get a message that I need to verify my government ID. Unfortunately, I never received the dialog box on login to enable me to upload my government ID. Please provide a link or instructions on where to go to upload this ID.
Thank you for your help.

It means, go to profile settings, id verification and verify your ID by either the 8th of February 2023 (If it is US locale) or 2nd of August 2023.
Have your Country ID ready to scan in as well as a photo verification of your face.

As advised by Keenan, that message is to notify you about the ID verification request initiated on your Upwork account. I see that you have already submitted your documents now. Please allow 1-3 business days for the team to review and update your account.
