Identity Verification is under Manual Review

[#1]

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?

Hi Nikola,

I've been having the same issue this entire week. I've uploaded my only government ID available four or five times and it keeps getting rejected. Would you be able to help me?

Thank you.

I'm experiencing the same issue. I'm trying to submit my driver's license. It's constantly saying everything is under manual review. Which is fine, but I can't submit any proposals in the meantime! There are several jobs that I have missed out on because of this. What is the solution?

Hi,

I am Mrudul and I have started my upwork journey recently and I have received one project and upwork asked me for identity verification. I have submitted all the documents, taken selfie and everything upwork asked me to do. My account is suspended because identity verification is not done. I dont understand if it is a scam or upwork has decided to make fools out of freelancers. How can they suspend the account after getting the first project. Its the end of the journey before the start. Kindly let me know when I have to appear for the video call or all verification I am ready to undergo. Please help me activate my account. I am disappointed by the upwork policy. Why don't they verify the people before getting the project. Now I am missing my timelines on the first project itself. Absolute disappointment 

Regards,

Mrudul
