Gov. ID was not approved, and yet it worked on a different page.
Everything shows. It´s not a pristine picture, but everything´s perfectly legible. Not sure how I could take a better picture..
Is there a place I can send it for a personal verification ?
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi Ahmad,
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.
Freelancers requested to submit identification documents should submit any of the documents listed during the verification process. Note that the list is different for each country.
If you do not have any documents from the list, you can submit a different government-issued ID, ensuring it’s unexpired and valid. This will trigger a manual review process. 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.

Hello, I am having the same issue. I am also a Nigerian. I submitted my NIN card thrice to Upwork to verify my account but it was rejected. Meanwhile presently NIN is the government means of identity verification in Nigeria and now my identity verification status is showing "We've started a Manual review". Please help me out. Thank you

The review process may take up to 48 hours. If you’re asked to verify your identity, follow the link in the email you receive to begin the process. This is a secure and encrypted link that will remain active for 30 days. However, you will need to verify your identity within seven days or they will put a hold on your account.

Hello,
Please help me out.!!
I recently established a Payoneer payment method, and the Payoneer account belongs to my brother. I removed the Payoneer payment method from Upwork as it is not allowed.
Now the system is demanding me to authenticate my brother's identity using his name, which is not mine on Upwork.
Please help me address this issue as I am perplexed.
The system is showing this message below:
“Unfortunately, we were unable to process your transaction. Your account is being reviewed. We may need to verify your identity information. Please check your email for the detailed next steps. If you don’t hear back within 2 business days, please contact us.”

Hello Joanne, I am reaching out because I see you are a moderator and I need urgent help. I already wrote in the forum a few days ago but no one is answering me and this is very important. I have submitted my verification about 4 days ago and I am still not verified. I did all the steps and it's telling me I am under manual verification but it's been taking way too long, and I was told it would be 24-72 hours at most. I have contracts awaiting and money in my account and I cannot deposit or accept contracts. This is very stressful for me since I am losing a lot of money. Please help me with this issue as soon as possible. I would really really appreciate it. Thank you!

That is not a solution, I have been trying to complete my profile for more than a month without success.
With all the technological potential, and thousands of people apparently providing support, they cannot think of a more practical methodologies.
I already invested my financial resources buying CONNECTS, as well as time to try to get my first contract, I don't see, there is seriousness on the part of the UpWork team.
By the way, at least take the time to rewrite, because your answer is the same, literal, COPY-PASTE.

Hi Pradeep,
I've submitted my ID for verification a while ago, but it is still showing the "We're reviewing your documents and will get back to you within 1 business day."
How long does this usually take?
Would appreciate your urgent support with this process.
Thank you.

Hi! I can't get verified. I submitted my driver's license 2 times, but upwork asks me to do it again. I wanted to send my passport, but your camera does not accept it. Yesterday I spent an hour in vain so that your camera would say “Can’t read every element on your photo page,” although the photo was perfectly. How can I finally pass identity verification?
