I am new to Upwork and have been in the below status for few days now. I tried the support but it links to the forum every time. Would anyone assist on what I should be doing next?

Hi Carlos, 

Thank you for reaching out to us. I am sorry for the inconvenience you experienced with contacting support. 

I shared your report with our team and one of our agents already reached out to you directly via a support ticket to assist you further. You can access your ticket on this page.

Additionally, to access our support services, it would be best to follow the steps below:

1. Navigate to the Help Center’s navigation bar and select the “Contact Support” option.
2. Choose the “Chat with Upwork” option to initiate a conversation with our chatbot.
3. Type in a question or topic and click “Send.” The chatbot will provide relevant articles related to your question.

We strongly encourage everyone to engage with the chatbot to access the available support options. Asking for assistance directly may not provide sufficient information for the chatbot to be able to assist you appropriately - for example, creating a ticket for you with the right team according to your concern.

Hi, Team. Thanks for your time.
I have verified on Upwork but I can't see verified badge on my profile.
Please let me know if you have any solution or reasons.

Regards!

Hi Andres,

I want to confirm that we have several verification processes. This helps us confirm that a user's identity is legitimate and they are who they say they are, which keeps the marketplace safe from fraudulent users. 

On Upwork, users may be asked to verify their identities from time to time. In this case, the team is reviewed your account as part of our Know Your Customer (KYC) Identity Information process. Although it may seem that the methods are the same, they are for different purposes. 

[#21]

Thanks for your update.
So you mean recent verification process I met is not for verified badge? If so, Please help me to get verified badge. I can't find other verification link or process on my account.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Regards!

[#22]

I tried to submit my govt Id as I am new on this platform and It's been more than 2 days since I submitted but didn't receive any confirmation.
How long will it take to verify my ID because I am unable to make a payment to buy connects.

Hi, Thanks for your clarification. 
As I mentioned earlier, I still have not received any confirmation regarding ID verification.
As you mentioned the support link which does not show any tickets in my name.
Kindly solve this issue of ID verification as soon as possible.
Thanks

[#25]

It's been more then 5-7 business days that my account is on hold due to KYC to verified by Upwork. 

I have submitted picture of my government issues ID Card. Still the prompt is not being removed from my profile.

I have tried calling on Upwork's number but it is an AI BOT, the same is on chat.

I would really appreciate Upworks response on timely basis

Hope to hear.

ThankYou!!
