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.

I have verified my ID and location verification but not the visual one, i submitted the photo but it didn't get accepted maybe because it's too blurry. So can i redo the photo step, and my english is only at the written level, probably cant hear a single word from the agents.

I have received 2 successfully verified notifications out of three on Upwork but I'm still restricted in my account. I have contacted Upwork but they are not responding.

Hi Jovarya,
Are you able to attempt to complete the verification process from a smartphone instead? Let us know if that helps.

I've done the first 2 steps of worker verification on Upwork, but things stop working at the 3rd. I have to do a visual verification where I show my face, but on both phone and computer, on Safari and Microsoft Edge, the page stays white and the camera turns on but then turns off.
So I can't fully verify my account. Help.
Can a member reach out to me with a ticket please.

I was testing my phone camera and it seems it captured a different face instead of mine. I need to retake the photo so that my profile can be verified. I just landed my first contract.

Hi Quinter,
I’ve escalated your community post to a support ticket. One of our agents will be in touch with you soon to assist.

Hello, I am currently conducting video verification. I have already submitted my ID card photo, but when I was conducting mobile video verification, the video verification never passed.
The process is as follows: I opened the video verification window based on the SMS link, and an oval window appeared. I held my phone up for a long time to take photos, and the photos were normal without any problems.
But after a period of time, the webpage display expired.
I have repeated this process several times, all with the same result.
I don't understand why. This should be automatic photography, not manual photography. I didn't see any buttons for manual photography.
I want to choose to have a conversation with the agent, but my spoken English is very poor, and I am not sure if I can have a normal conversation with the agent.
I don't know what to do.

We'll do our best to provide you with simple instructions as to not make things more complicated. Feel free to ask the agent to rephrase or repeat their question or statement if it wasn't clear.

I have a problem in id verification they said We are reviewing your selfie and it's a week so far and i can't make id verification I uploaded my id photot but in vain. I don't know what to do

Create a new ID and use it when they request your photo. When they ask for your verification, provide your selfie, and the verification process should go smoothly.

You can email them about this issue. If they are late with their solution, you can follow Altaf H's

Hi Aaron,
I took a closer look at your profile and can confirm that your selfie has been accepted. Your ID is Verified, and you should see the ID Verified badge on your profile as confirmation.
