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.

Hi 

I am facing an issue with the profile photo. My Id verification through the ID card was verified but then when selfie was taken, the verification process  halted and I received an email that my photo on ID card and profile photo should match. I believe the religious beliefs are resapected by UPWORK because in my public display of photo, I have NIQAAB (face veil) on. Please guide me on this matter

thanks

Hi, my visual verification is not completed yet. it's still showing ''We are reviewing your selfie which typically takes a few minutes, but could take up to 1 business day.'' may i know how long it will take to complete the process because the given timeline has already been over!

Hi Saibal,

 

Thank you for reaching out. If you're having trouble with the selfie, could you please try speaking with an agent instead? You can go to Settings > Identity Verification, click on Continue, and you'll see the Speak with an Agent button like this.

I've been asked to verify my identity to keep applying to jobs,  I passed the two first steps successfully (ID document verification and Location verification) but it's been more than three days and I didn't get an answer from the third step Visual verification, I keep getting this message : We are reviewing your selfie which typically takes a few minutes, but could take up to 1 business day.

If it's been more than three days and you haven't received a response for the Visual verification step, it's a good idea to follow up with the organization or platform you're applying to for jobs. There might be a delay or an issue with the verification process, and they can provide further assistance or information on the status of your application.

Hi Hardik,

 

Looking at the screengrab you shared, you're still missing some documentation to complete the verification. Can you please click "Continue" to upload what's missing?

Dear Sir/Madam,
 
First, I am very disappointed that there's no way or access to file a support ticket on Upwork.
 
Second, how come it took months but still didn't pass my profile visual verification? See here:

Hi Priscilla,

 

Apologies for the delay in reviewing your visual verification. I see that your visual verification has already been reviewed and approved.

So I've been verified already for a few weeks and then earlier this week I was asked to verify my ID again. 

My account has since been stuck in verification for a week. 

Can someone help? I'm unable to put proposals out.
