Hi Trisha Mae,
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!
I don't get any error msgs. The picture doesn't change. It remains the same even after the "picture uploaded" process.

I cannot see profile verification in my profile settings.
Can sommeone guide me on how I can verify my profile
Thanks
May 5, 2023 07:22:19 AM by Mykola A
You cannot. Work as-is. You will be asked by Upwork for verification when needed.
May 5, 2023 08:10:14 AM by Alexander U
So you can make your verification, see that you have all the complete data in your freelance profile, but you must also have all the complete data in each section of your customer profile.
1) Verify the email address
2) Verify the address and telephone number
3) Verify the authentication of security factor.
