Solved: Verification of UK Location - Page 12

alilondon · ‎07-06-2021

Hello, I have recently moved to the UK. I have a biometric residence permit but I do not have a British passport.

When I tried to upload my BRP, the following text is displayed:

"It looks like you uploaded an unsupported type of ID.Please try again with an image of your state issued U.K. driving licence or British passport."

How could I overcome this and successfully get my ID verified?

Thanks

Hi TAI,

It looks like you're trying to apply to UK-only job posts. In order to apply for these, you must verify your location. If you encounter any issues while trying to verify your location, please know that you can reach out to our support team by clicking the 'Chat with Upwork' button on the Contact Support page.

If you'd prefer not to verify your location at this time, that's ok! Switch the feed you're looking at to My Feed and you can search and apply to job posts that are Worldwide.

Hi Andrea,

As I've said, those are not details. Those are just general rules of proof submission, which I was already aware of and which give me absolutely no information about what could be the issue with the documents I provided.

Hi Arjay,

The team has not responded to my ticket in days. According to the verification page, verification should take no longer than 1 business day, which is clearly not happening. My livelihood depends on Upwork and I need this issue to be solved ASAP. Pease expedite the issue.

Now they're just rejecting me for made-up reasons. I'd like to speak to someone in charge. I suspect your team members are racist.

I've been trying to verify my number for a day or so but I keep getting the 'Something went wrong, please try again later' message.

I have tried changing browsers, clearing my cookies and cache and trying to do it on my phone instead of my laptop but nothing is working.

I cannot submit any proposals, please help. I'm given an error message that says "IDV verification needed", but there is no link or pop-up to verify my ID.

Please help so I can begin to submit proposals.

I keep getting the same error message when I try to send a prosposal. It reads; There was an error loading this page: error [7a0244b839e93868-LHR, 7a0244b839e93868-LHR]. Contact Upwork Support for more information.

I also get a red banner at the top of the page saying I need to verify my ID. However, I can't find anywhere to do so on my settings button, and everything I've found in relation said Upwork will send me an email or popup when they want me to verify my ID. Neither such thing has happened yet.

The Upwork Support button was no help.

Any advice?

Hello,

I am from Pakistan and my profile is verified on the details of Pakistan.

I recently moved to the UK (London) on Student Visa and I want to change the location on my profile.

After changing the location it asks for ID verification. I have the BRP (Biometric Residence Permit) issued to every international student and address verification details as well.

I am only allowed to work 20 hours a week and I don't know about the rules and regulations regarding taxation in the UK. Will it cause any problems with my Student VISA?

Kindly guide me if anyone has knowledge about this.

Best regards,

Shabih Ul Hassan
