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.

I am not able to verify my document even after multiple attempts.

 

I have tried Aadhar card, Pan card and driver's license, none of them have been approved in manual verification.

 

Can you please let me know how I can complete my ID verification process?

I have already submitted them 7-8 times, it seems to be stuck in some kind of loop. I have already looked at all the documentation, can you confirm why the documents are not being accepted in manual review?

Today is the second time I have been asked to verify my account on Upwork. I have tried to upload my official document, valid nationwide in my country, and up-to-date. Following the instructions provided, with a different background, nothing covering the information on the ID. Everything is in order. When I upload the images supposedly for automatic verification, they do not load; it seems they do not recognize me. I have been through this process more than five times already, and I would like to request a manual verification. However, when I upload the photos, it does not lead to a manual verification either; it just stays on the screen where it says error in recognition.I need your help to resolve this soon.

My problem is that when I verify my account, it allows you to scan QR codes and send text messages to verify your account. Once I scan the QR code on my phone, it directs me to scan the QR code again for account verification and text messages. same thing in the text message; it routes me to the link where I can just scan and receive text. It repeats the process; there is no chance to upload any files or meet any requirements to verify my account.

I attempted to verify my ID over a week ago. It accepted my state ID, but did not accept my picture.  It also did not provide a link for the video verification and now my ID is no longer there.  I just have the red bar at the top of my profile that leads to nowhere.  When I attempted to find support, tried to submit a ticket, I received the error below.

Could someone provide guidance on next steps. This process has been very discouraging. All assistance welcomed. Thank you.

I have tried for around 4 or 5 times to send my national ID (It's in arabic as I'm from Egypt) while following all of the instructions such as not cropping/rotating it, all 4 corners are showing and the picture is clear and is on a flat surface with no flash. It's still getting rejected. What else do I have to do to get my ID verified?

Hi,

I'm having trouble applying for jobs. I used to be able to do this without any issues, but now I'm encountering difficulties. Could someone guide me on the steps I need to follow?

Hi Divyesh,

 

Your account is currently restricted because you need to verify your identity, which is why you are unable to apply for jobs at this time. I see that you've already submitted your documents for verification and they are under review. Please allow 1-3 for the review to be completed

I just landed my first contract and immediately got a notification to verify my identity. I used the ID mode with my voter's card. Initially, I got green checkmarks for "appear on camera " and "show us a government issued id". However, I checked back now and the green has changed to a yellow caution mark. 

 

Please I need help. What does the changed status mean?
