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've completed the ID document verification but I am unable to complete the visual verification from my phone due to this error:
We are having some technical problems.
We are unable to use the camera on this device.
Please try again using your mobile camera.
I have tried using different app browsers and a different phone but the same error keeps appearing. Unable to use my computer because it doesn't have a camera. And I also tried to find a way to contact support about this but I was unable to find a way.

I've been trying to finish my visual verification and it just doesn't work.
I've cleaned my cache, tried both methods to take the selfie, and in mobile it never loads, while on pc tells me there are some technical prombles or the "no face detected", no matter how i much i get closer to the camera or get away from it. Please help.

Hi Natalia,
It took me a good while to get mine to work as well. In the end I succeeded with the camera at eye level, in a room flooded by natural light, & with a completely blank wall behind me & just kept re-positioning myself.
Like you unfortunately I found it very picky about what it would accept as "a face"

Hello everyone. Not 100% sure that's the right place for this but I found nowhere better to post this. So I am trying to complete my Identity verification. I have sent a copy of my ID as a first step. However for the visual verification, I am trying to use my phone, I scanned the QR code opened the link but the camera never started. I did Accept the camera permissions but It just doesn't seem to work. I have attached a screenshot about the issue. and yeah, I totally would not want my account deactivated so any help can really be a huge help.

Hi,
I received the invitation to verify my account from upwork. Although, I have successfully completed the ID verification. I could not complete the visual verification.
The error is, they ask to text the link to the visual verification to my phone number.
But on receiving the link (as text message), it leads to page does not exist, and I have just 3 days left to complete the verification.
What is the solution for this

Hi, I am worried because I do not want my account to be cancelled, I have already sent my documents and my selfi and it says that they are still in "verification".
As an additional information in my identity document, I had a mistake with one of the sides of the document. I ended up sending a personal photo; so, most likely, I will probably have to pay for it.
please... help!
