Gov. ID was not approved, and yet it worked on a different page.
Everything shows. Itยดs not a pristine picture, but everythingยดs 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 โIdentity Verifiedโ 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 itโs 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 thatโs the case, and youโre 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 Hugo,
Acceptable forms of ID vary by country and will be listed on the form. You may also submit alternative IDs or documents that will be subject to manual review. We suggest you visit this help article to learn more about acceptable documents when completing the ID verification process.

Subject: Issue with Profile Verification
Description:
Dear Support Team,
I am writing to express my concern regarding the verification status of my profile. Despite carefully completing all the required steps and providing the necessary information, my profile remains unverified. I have patiently waited for several days, but there has been no update or change in my verification status.
May 20, 2024 05:13:48 PM by Arjay M
Hi Mariam,
I took a closer look at your account and confirmed that it doesn't need further verification yet. Please know that verification cannot be requested, but is slowly being rolled out to users of Upwork.
Suppose the team finds it necessary to verify your account. In that case, you will be notified through an email or through a notification in your account with more information on how you can complete the verification process.

Good Day!
My upwork profile is almost 2 years old and I purchased over 1000 conencts. But since the first day I have been having issue with getting my identity verification badge. As far as my profile is concerned, it is complete but I've not been provided with the badge.
Please assist with this matter on an urgent basis since it is delaying the process of affectively using upwork. I would start using my connects as soon as I get my identity verification badge.

Hi Syed,
Thank you for your message. It doesn't look like you need to verify your account yet. The team will let you know if there is a need for any verification in the future.

Hello,
I've submitted my ID for verification a while ago, but the Identity Verfication page just shows, "We're reviewing your documents and will get back to you." I was wondering if there were any updates?
Thanks.
May 20, 2024 07:53:56 PM by Pradeep H
Hi Corey,
Thank you for your message. I see that the documents were resubmitted yesterday, and they are still in the queue for review. Please allow 1-3 business days for the team to review and update your account.

My account is temporarily suspended because Upwork wanted to confirm my relationship with a client. I was told to verify my ID and enter billing information, but the URL provided to upload those documents is invalid. I contacted support to request a new link or to have my documents manually reviewed because my government ID is constantly being rejected. It has been three days since my account was temporarily suspended, but I have yet to receive a response from the support agent. Could you please help?
My IDs currently meet all of the requirements.

Hi Gift,
Apologies for the delay as our support teams are currently experiencing a higher number of contacts than usual. Rest assured the team will address your concerns and questions in the ticket as soon as possible.

Hi PradeepH
How long is this going to take? a week, a month, or more because I have an ongoing contract, and it would be foolish of me to ask my client to continue making payments through Upwork when I am not even allowed to withdraw the money I have earned.

"Hello Sir, I contacted my Payoneer bank and told them about the problem that was caused during the connects purchases. After the updates, they told me to ask my merchant to make an update so that I could try again. Please help me, I need your assistance. Thanks."

Hi Arthur,
I see that you don't currently have any billing methods added to your account. Please go to your Billing & Payments settings page to add your preferred method to buy Connects. Additionally, I recommend that you check out this page to learn which ones you can use.

I'm having an issue with Identity Verification because my country (Kosovo) is not listed.
- I have sent my passport photo (approved).
- I have sent the selfie (approved).
- I have tried to solve the issue by talking to the chatbot without success.
Is there any way that I can verify my identity?
