Identity Verification

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

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 ArjayM,


I am laying this complaint from a temporary account I created just air out my frustrating situation ( trust me I wouldn't be violating Upwork's policy if I had other means of reaching out to you) . I have failed on many attempts to get Verified despite resubmitting my government issued ID which in my country of residence ( Nigeria) is the National Identity Number card( NIN). I have been sent emails informing me on the ID verification failure even after submitting my ID card and appearing on Camera. This is highly inconveniencing as I haven't been able to apply for jobs or lay my complaint on upwork community because my account is currently suspended. Can't Upwork initiate a manual verification process this is getting really frustrating and tiring.

I received emails from Upwork support but none of them pinpointed the exact issue with my NIN ID, it is authentic and is used for verification purposes of any sort

Hi Sir,

 

Good day! I received an email for Identity Verification. I tried to access the QR code and sending a text message to my phone number; however, nothing worked. It redirected me to the same page that shows the QR code and the option to send text message. Please advise. 

 

 

Thank you.

Kind regards,

-Raymart V.

Hi PradeepH.

I am currently facing the same issue after getting my first offer please help.

Hi Team,

 

I got my first offer through upwork and when I accepted it. I was prompted to verify my identity, however UpWork keeps rejecting my national ID saying they do not recognise my document even though it is a very clear picture. Please advise on how I can be helped with the verification as I currently do not have my passport or drivers license.

 

Regards,

Suzen

Hi,

 

I am having an issue with the ID verification. I have submitted all the details as requested, but the issue is still unresolved.

 

1) My National ID is in Urdu, my native language. Is that a problem?

 

2) My full name is Kashif Khan Lashari, but on my CNIC, it is just Kashif Khan. Is that also a problem?

 

I got my first project on Upwork today and would like to get this resolved as soon as possible.

 

Thank you,

Kashif

Hello Luiggi,

 

I've completed the verification process on my iPhone twice, and each time it indicated success. However, when I log into my account, I'm still prompted to verify my identity, and under settings, it shows that the visual verification was unsuccessful. This issue seems to be preventing me from applying for jobs with other clients.

Could you please assist me in resolving this problem? I am eager to continue applying for jobs and need this issue to be addressed promptly.

Thank you for your help.
