Hey. After getting my first job, I can't apply for any job! The "Apply now" button is disabled. I have 28 connects.
Also my public profile saying: "Profile no longer available".

Hi Sohail,

I’ve escalated your community post to a support ticket. One of our agents will be in touch with you soon to assist.

Is there any email that i can use to contact Upwork support since their AI chatbox isnt helpful. I cannot verify my ID and cannot buy connects anymore, and cant enter my credit card number since im not verified. Thanks

Hello,

Thank you so much for contacting me, I will try my best to get your answer.
I think, You have got the support of your Govt. documents as an ID proof to
do verifications like your driving licence, PAN card and as an Indian Adhar
card. And use that to verify it.

Hi, I’m Md Mazharul Islam. Today I received a message regarding identity verification. I uploaded my ID card and a selfie, but the system keeps prompting me to upload the documents again, creating a loop. I need assistance with this. Thank you!

Hello Md Mazharul,

I am sorry to hear that you are encountering an issue with verifying your identity. If you are seeing the same page as the one on your desktop, it's because of the settings of the mobile browser. I recommend that you set it to mobile view. If the issue persists even after doing so, kindly contact our customer support team with a video clip replicating the issue.

Dear Upwork Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to seek assistance concerning the issue of my identity verification. 
For verification, I provided the National Idenitity Number slip as requested and snapped as directed. The four sides of the slip was visible, yet the system kept asking for it. 
It was snapped in broad daylight and with a dark background as requested but was still denied, stating that the document was unrecognised. 
I am unable to work or do anything on this platform as a result and seek your timely intervention in resolving this issue. Any guidance, or support you provide will be greaty appreciated. 
Thank you for your detailed attention to this issue. I look forward to your prompt response and assistance. 

Warm regards,
Joy Okechukwu.

Hello,

• I have double nationality, I am both a citizen from Costa Rica and France.
• I have registered with Upwork as Costa Rican.
• I am having issues with my Identity Verification process, because my old Costa Rica passport has expired and I do not presently have a new one.
• Nevertheless, I do have a valid biometric French passport, which could certainly serve for the required Identity Verification purposes, yet I would need to edit my nationality in my profile.
• I have attempted to create a new support ticket (here: https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/requests/new ) but to my dismay, it seems impossible to create a new one, or to receive assistance from a human being.
• The chatbot (which would seem like the only contact option presently existing?) responded that I could change my nationality in the Contact Info section of my Profile Settings. Nevertheless, I have found this to be untrue, as seemingly the only things I can change there are: name, email, time zone, location. There is no visible option to change my nationality.

It has been quite frustrating to have been completely unable to reach an actual human being in Upwork's Help Center. I have no idea then, how to reach an Upwork Support Agent.

QUESTION:
Can  anyone please advise, how to open a new Support Ticket to contact an Upwork human being Agent, to resolve this issue?

**Edited for community guidelines**

THANK YOU IMMENSELY FOR YOUR HELP, MY FELLOW HUMANS !!!

You do not edit nationality, you edit your residence, and if you change it over to  France you will also have to prove your residence there, using French shreds of evidence.

Hi Daniel Henry,

To complete the ID verification process, you will need to take a picture of your government-issued ID in order to verify your identity. The acceptable forms of ID vary by country and will be listed on the form.

• This ID must include your picture, signature, name, date of birth, and address, with the exception of passports, which don't need your address
• The documents we accept 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.

In your Upwork account, it doesn't require that you enter information about your nationality. The ID verification process is intended to confirm that profiles are real and help protect the reputation of all clients. It also helps protect you from dealing with scammers. To find more information about the verification process, please check out this helpful article.

Dear Joanne,

I immensely appreciate your kind and thorough response!

I have now successfully submitted my document (and selfie), and the system now reports it has started a manual review.

Thank you!

Hi, 

I can't receive SMS messages and keeps displaying the message: 'You have exceeded the max number of texts that we can send.' Even when I scan the QR code, it still shows the same page on my mobile phone.

I've tried switching browsers and clearing cookies, but nothing has worked. I'm stuck in the support conversation with the chatbot. Please help me. Thank you.
