Visual verification

My laptop doesn’t have a camera. And would like to finish the verification process. Is there a way for me to complete this process via mobile phone?

Hi Kori,

 

Some freelancers will be eligible for digital photo verification in place of a video call. To complete digital photo, or "selfie" verification, you'll be asked to take a photo of yourself on your computer or mobile device. If you run into any issues with your Browser Settings for Visual Verification you can check this help article. For any other issues, please reach out to our support team. 

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.

During my chat with the support representative regarding visual identification, I received feedback that it is not possible to verify me and I should contact support. What are my next steps?

Hi, I want to verify myself in upwork, but I have problem with the third step - visual verification. It is pending and I am scared that I will be stuck forever. Other two steps were ready for seconds.

Hi Kaloyan,

 

Please allow our team enough time to verify the information you submitted. If they need to contact you for further instructions on how to complete the verification, they will reach out to you via email and a support ticket. There's no need to do anything on your end at the moment, just sit tight while our team reviews your account. Thank you!

Hi Debdatta,

 

It doesn't look like you need to verify your account yet. The team will let you know if there is a need for any verification in the future. Please know that verification cannot be requested. If the team finds the need to verify your account, you will be notified through an email, or through a notification in your account with more information on how you can complete the verification process.

Hi Zay,

 

I followed up with the team and can confirm that your more recent submission is still under review. You should receive a response from the team as soon as the review is completed.

So my principal in a transaction is that if I pay for a service, I better be able to reach them by phone.  After a week of back and forth getting anyone to agree to call rather than use their self help (self help is for free, not paid) they finally schedule for a call at 11am.  It is now 12:13 and no call.  Of course, you can't call or email them direcly any more as their CEO misunderstood the interest generated from the pandemic and wen't all tech development on a site that didn't need it and that 4M loss has cut support for the people who generate their revenue.  Anyone from Upwork want to chime in here?

I can't pass visual verification on Upwork. It always displays 'center your face in the oval', even if I place my face in the center of the oval. Please help me.

Try using a outdoor light or another camera.

Hi, I need help, either from a freelancer with the same problem or Upwork worker.
I need to verify with selfie, to continue working. The problem is that neither with the phone nor with the computer I can do it, I get the following message: we are having some technical problems. we are unable to use the camera on this device.
please try again using the camera of your cell phone.

Please, if someone from the technical service can help me, I would appreciate it. Thank you.
