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

Hello,

I received a notification that I needed to verify my ID, so I went ahead and did so. I have been waiting for almost 24 hours to get it approved since I have a deadline for tomorrow and need to accept the offer ASAP, which I can't do unless my ID is verified. Could you please look into it? This is frustrating!

Hi Yvonne,

I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you experienced while verifying your account. After reviewing your account, it seems that your previous submission was rejected because the image of your ID card was not acceptable. Please avoid cropping, altering, or uploading a screenshot of your ID card. To complete your verification more efficiently, you can refer to the tips section on this help page.

Hi

I have been waiting for 2 days now to get my ID information verified. I have raised the issue here again but have not received any help. Could somebody please help? I have a pending offer with a deadline for tomorrow that I need to accept and can't do so unless my info is approved because the "accept offer" button has been grayed. 

I need help! @support

I've taken a photo of my ID card but it keeps getting rejected. All the data is clearly visible. 

How can I ensure that my verification is successful? Is there a place where I can send it for personal verification?

Hi Megananda,

I am sorry to hear about the trouble verifying your account. I regret to inform you that there is no other way to send your document but to upload it on the ID verification page. I see that you have already uploaded the documents, please allow 24-48 hours for the team to review and update your account.

Hello community

I expect to receive my verification once i submitted my ID to the verification process, but after around 48 hours, i still dont receive the verification. So, i was asking myselft if is the normal time required (because the process dont clarify how much time it can take) or maybe i need to do some adjustments or there is a issue with that?

Hi Roberto,

I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you experienced while verifying your account. After reviewing your account, it seems that your previous submission was rejected because your ID document was expired. Please try again using an unexpired ID document. You can refer to this help page for the list of acceptable documents.

Yes, the first time I uploaded an expired document by mistake, I corrected it and upload a new document that is current, but I still no receive the authorization around 1 week ago. Can you help me to know what is happening, please?

[#19]

my national id got refused every time i submit it

[#20]

Hi Amr,

This is happening because your profile photo doesn't meet Upwork's requirements. Please ensure that the photo you upload is a clear picture of yourself, headshot-style, not a long shot, and that your face is clearly visible.  Please check this help article for more information about profile pictures and tips on choosing an excellent profile photo.

Once you've updated it, you can try uploading your ID again from the Identity Verification settings page.

Hi this is hunzala 

I've uploaded all the required and valid document for verification it's been 2 days no response from Upwork regarding the verification status. How to know what's the id verification status? 

Thank you 

[#22]

It may take longer time to verify the uploaded document but i suggest waiting for five business days and if nothing happen contact your support team to see co!money ways to fix the problem.

[#23]

Thanks for a reply!  i have a job in progress. and also i cannot even apply to other jobs. 

[#24]

Well it would be better to finish the job to avoid overstress if more ofers come but if you are the type that can handled more than one job I suggest visiting find work under your profile home page and send a few proposal to  get more chances of getting hired for another project.

[#25]

i can't send new proposal. Apply Now button is disabled. 

[#26]

Then I suggest  you next time you send more proposals to get multiple job offers and you can be working with more than one client but i suggest that you finish your previous job before you apply for a new one since it doesn't work in an ongoing job.
