Hi all, I recently created an agency account. I haven't added anybody, but as soon as I created it, I am being shown this notification.

Hi Khurram,
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 reviewing 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.
If it has been more than 48-hours and your account is still being reviewed, you can come back here or contact the Customer Support Team directly to be assisted further. How do I reach a human in customer support?

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.

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.
Regards,
Abdul Aziz Masood

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

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!!
