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.

Hello, I just relocated to the UK. I do not have a British passport, but I do have a biometric resident permit. I tried to upload my BRP, but when I did, the following message appeared: "It appears that you submitted an ID type that is not supported. Please retry using a photograph of your state-issued British passport or U.K. driving license. How do I approach this?
Thanks

Hi!
I'm currently in the UK for extended period. However, I don't have a British passport or driving license yet. Kindly let me know how can I provide my current location's proof. Thank You!

Hi Dr. Irfan,
In general, if you are traveling and are away from your country of residence temporarily, you don’t need to update your location. If it does raise any flags on our end, the team will reach out to you directly. If however, you are going to be away for an extended period, or moving permanently, then you should make updates to your account location. If there's a need for verification, the team will reach out to you directly and let you know which documents you should submit to them

I have relocated to the United Kingdom. Although I possess a biometric residence permit (BRP), I do not currently hold a British passport.
Unfortunately, when attempting to upload my BRP, I encountered the following message:
"It appears that you have uploaded an unsupported form of identification. Please try again by providing an image of your U.K. state-issued driving license or British passport." Please advise.

Hi
For the second day I can not enter my profile settings, because I am asked to confirm my phone number, but I do not receive SMS with a password. Please help solve this problem

I made an error in my initial profile, so I decided to cancel it and create a new one. However, I am encountering difficulties in verifying my account using the same phone number, as it continues to indicate that the number is already in use. Could you assist me with this issue?

Hi, I am based in the UK. The form doesn't seem to understand my phone number and isn't sending me a code so I can't finish my profile. What can I do?

Hello,
I am unable to complete my profile due to issues with my phone number, the text message with the code never comes through and when i try to activate text messages in settings, i get an error " this service isnt available "
Please can you help
Sep 25, 2023 11:18:50 AM by Anoosha G
Hi Debbie,
I suggest you to complete your profile using a laptop rather than a cell phone. I got the same issue when I tried to open the account using cell phone.
Best of luck to your future of freelancing.
