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.

Hi Jesse,
I've checked and actually tried but wasn’t able to replicate the issue you’re describing. Your account has no restriction and it doesn't need further verification just yet. Could you please try using a different browser or the incognito mode of your current browser? You may also try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies. Let us know if the issue persists and we'll look further into that for you.
Hello,
This is the issue i get, i have tried different browsers and incognito mode. I am new to upwork so is it that i cannot bid for certain projects?
Hi Dhinesh,
I understand your concern about not getting the trust of clients but please know that verification cannot be requested. It is still slowly being rolled out to users of Upwork. If the team finds the need to verify your account, you will be notified through an email, or through a notification in your account with more information on how you can complete the verification process.
It is also worth noting that clients can request to do the interview through zoom meetings via Upwork to verify that you are who you say you are from your profile.

Hi Suram,
Please note that it can take up to 3 business days for the verification process to be completed. Kindly allow more time for the review to complete. The team will let you know if anything else is needed.
Every time I am trying to verify my account and hit the identity verification link in the guidelines, this gives me this kind of error. Can someone from Upwork team help me with this concern I have? Thank you!

Hi Kamal,
Kindly complete the verification of the account holder as requested. Don't hesitate to let us know if you have any questions.
Hi Kamal,
Thank you for reaching out. Could you please clarify what you mean by Upwork asking to verify your brother's identification? Did you initially register your brother's details when you signed up?
~ AJ
Hi Kamal,
Sorry for any confusion, the verification you're looking to complete is for the billing method you entered. Given that it is your brother's billing information, that's the information that must be verified. Kindly complete the verification as instructed.
