Hi Latrice,
It looks like you're trying to apply to US-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.

Good afternoon,
I am new here and tried to upload my ID. I was only given one try and it immediately failed. It also stated that I maxed my multiple attempts although I only did it once. I submitted last Friday on the 9th and have yet gotten a response or update although a 24-48 hour response time is promised. I have also emailed and put in a ticket for this. This is getting a little frustrating. Can anyone help with this?

I was prompted in the app to verify my ID then it went away and I could submit proposals.
Now I only receive the prompt to verify my ID again but when I click verify ID it just disappears.
So how do I upload my ID??????

Hi David,
I checked your account and it looks like you were able to verify your profile. Are you seeing any request to verify your account?

I created a new service provider account and the website asked me to upload my ID, which I did. It rejected my ID and said I woul hear from support. Never did. Now it says I have exceeded my maximum tries (I only tried once!) and I should contact support. But all I get in support is the bot that connects me to an artice about how to upload my ID--which I can't do, since the system now thinks I've exceeded maximum tries.
Can anyone help me out? My ID matches my name exactly so I'm totally legitimate. Just need the system to let me upload my passport or state ID and verify it properly.
Sep 19, 2022 12:42:26 PM by Rachel M
I have the same issue and was confused on how I exceeded the max tries. I am on the community page to try and fix my issue as well.

I tried to submit a proposal for a posting today. I was asked to upload my ID for verification and, after one attempt, the error message said: "You've reached the maximum number of tries to upload your ID.
To verify your identity so that you can access all jobs, please contact customer support."
I have a legitimate driver's license, so I'm not sure what the problem was. When I contacted customer support, I got a bot and couldn't get through to anyone to find out what to do next. What are my next steps?
Sep 24, 2022 08:36:36 AM by Richard K
