Identity Verification

[#1]

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 Mohamed,

I'm sorry you're having difficulties verifying your ID. You will need to take a picture of your government-issued ID to verify your identity. The acceptable forms of ID vary by country and will be listed on the form. 

However, you've already contacted our support team and raised a ticket about your ID verification concerns. Please allow them 24-48 hours, and you will get an update on your ticket here once your case is thoroughly reviewed.

In the meantime, you may review this help article for more details about acceptable documents to complete the ID verification.

Hi Upwork Support Team,

I'm having trouble verifying my identity on the platform. Despite multiple attempts, I'm unable to complete the verification process. I've tried:

• Ensuring my documents are up-to-date and valid
• Using different browsers and devices
• Following the verification instructions carefully

I've uploaded a black and white copy of my government-issued ID, which is a valid and accepted form of identification. However, the system is not accepting it. I've attached a screenshot of the error message for your reference.

Please assist me in resolving this issue as soon as possible, as I'm unable to access certain features and bid on projects without verified identity. Your prompt support is greatly appreciated!

Please, I am a Nigerian and my ID is not getting verified and I need to quickly accept an offer on this platform to immediately start working. I've been trying to get it verified for more than 3 hours now. It is very frustrating. 

I tried NIN, it is stating that I should change the card orientation. I tried Voter's card, same thing.

Sometimes, it states that it is glaring. I've tried and tried. Please, I need urgent help because the offer is still pending.

Hi Ridoy,

I've contacted the review team, who confirmed that they haven't received any documents to verify. Please try to resubmit your documents by going to Settings> Identity Verification. Please let us know once you've submitted the required documents, and we'll have the team look into them.

I started my first gig yesterday and very shortly after my account was locked down with the message "Action required: Verify your identity to continue winning jobs on Upwork", which is preventing me from applying to new gigs.

On the "Identity Review" page it says "We've started a manual review", with a yellow exclamation next to "Appear on camera:

To show us it's really you, take an automatic selfie or join a video chat.".

For some reason my automatic selfie was not accepted, and apparently there is no way for me to reattempt this step.

I am open to verifying my account via a video chat.

Hi Fico,

We checked your account and saw that our team has reviewed your account but requires you to update your profile photo. Please check out this help article for more information on how you can choose a good profile photo.  

[#14]

Thanks for the quick update.  I have updated my profile photo since I received the initial notification, but the account is still locked.

[#15]

Hi Fico,

Our verification team confirmed that your profile photo has been accepted. Please allow time for the verification team to review and update you directly.

[#16]

Excellent, thanks for your assistance Joanne!

EDIT: This appears to have been resolved and my account is now verified, thank you for your assistance.

Is there any way to expedite this process?  A $30,000 opportunity was just posted in my field and I cannot apply.  At this point I am unlikely to make it into the first few applicants, and will have a lower chance of having my proposal viewed once the gig has received 50+ other applicants as is common in my field.

I pay for the Freelance Plus service and consistently purchase additional connects.  I expect my account to work and not cause me to miss out on opportunities since I am paying ~$70 per month to use this service.

Hi, how are you?

I created a new account and proceeded with Id Verify, but I do not get past this screen even after 5 days.

I tried again several times, but it was the same.
I want to start working as soon as possible. I would appreciate it if you could tell me quickly what the cause is.
I'm waiting for your answer.

Hello everyone, how to fix this?

I have uploaded my ID card and selfie three times. But the page become like this. I can't apply job anymore. If you ever have the same problem please help me

[#23]

Hi Ayu Dwi,

Upon checking, the verification process was not yet completed, so your account was limited from submitting proposals. We checked with our verification team, who confirmed that the badge was added to your profile. You can now start submitting proposals. 

[#24]

Hello!
