Hi. I am stuck in some kind of loop. I have received several requests to verify my identity yesterday and today. I keep using my phone to take a picture of the front and back of my drivers license and then do a quick selfie. It always says "thanks for your submission" and then it says it's undergoing a manual review. A few hours later I get another request to do it all over again.
I think I've subitted it 5 or 6 times. Should I be doing something different? Am I doing something wrong? Can you help?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hello Adrian,
I am sorry to hear about the issue you encountered when trying to complete the ID verification process. In some cases, if you try to submit a document from the list and we can't automatically verify your submission, it will undergo a manual review process. If this happens, please allow 1-3 days for the team to finish their review.
If you do not have any documents from the list, you can submit a different government-issued ID, ensuring it's unexpired and valid. You may need to try multiple times and this will also trigger a manual review process. Please avoid cropping, altering, or uploading a screenshot of your ID card. Acceptable documents include a 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.

Good day
I am encountering the same problem of unending identity verification. I snapped my driver's license and submitted twice on request and it's still showing submission on review and whenever I refresh I'm required to submit my identity document. Please look into this as it's already 5 days since I submitted and I can't apply for job as a result

To complete your verification more efficiently, you can refer to the tips section on this help page. You can resubmit the documents from the Settings page.

Hi PradeepH, I got a verification pop up, and I have, to the best of my ability, done the necessary verification, but that red warning is still on my profile, which is frustrating, as I currently have an active contract,and need my account in good standing. Could you please rectify?
Diana.

Hi Dita,
I’m sorry to hear about the issue you've experienced when verifying your identity. Upon checking, I see that you need to upload your ID again for review. Could you please try uploading your document again following the instructions shared in this help article?

Hi Ronna,
I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to let you know that I’m currently facing an issue with my Upwork account. My account has been blocked for manual verification, which is preventing me from continuing to work on the platform.
This is particularly frustrating because it’s my first day on Upwork, and I had already secured my first project. I’m in the process of resolving this with Upwork, but in the meantime, I wanted to keep you informed.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or if there’s anything you need from me during this time.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards,
Ayoub k
