Identity Verification is under Manual Review

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?

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.

Several days have already passed but still I have no progress in my ID verfication.

I resubmitted my selfie and document several times in order to complete the verificaiton.

As I know, approval could be delayed up to 2 or 3 days but it's been over 4 days.

I would appreciate it if someone could solve my problem.

Hello, I have a problem with my identity verification. I have already submitted my national ID card (Madagascar) 6 times and I have followed the recommendations to the letter (all 4 corners visible, 200 dpi, with photo, etc.). Please note that I do not have a passport or a residence ID, I only have my national ID card, but it does not work. Can you please help me?Screenshot_20240801-065324.png

Hi Fiarovantsoa,

 

I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you experienced while verifying your account. I checked, and it seems that your previous submission was rejected because we were unable to authenticate your last ID submission. You will need to submit an image of an alternate government-issued photo ID. You can refer to this help page for the list of acceptable documents.

I have a concern regarding identity verification. Upwork keeps rejecting my NBI Clearance (as stated in the Government ID verification) even though I followed all the instructions. Is there anyone who could help me?

Hi, my name is Kamal and I'm from Morocco. I'm trying to join the platform, but I'm having trouble with the ID verification process. It initially shows a green check mark to indicate that my ID was accepted, but then after a couple of minutes, it changes back to showing that no ID has been added. Can you please help me with this issue?
