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.

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.

Dear Ashanti,
I think you have to contact Upwork by email way.
I've been very stuck with my own ID verification. Can you give me some tips on what to do in order to get my ID verified?
Should I contact the Upwork team, or just try to show more activity towards future clients?
Best regards:
Ingrid

Hi Ingrid,
I have checked your account, and it doesn't need further verification yet. Please remember that you cannot initiate the identity verification yourself, and cannot be requested. If the team finds the need for you to do it, you will receive an email detailing the instructions for completing your verification. You may want to check this help article for more information.

I got an email that Upwork requesting the national ID in English while my country issues all national IDs in Arabic only and my passport is expired. I have uploaded my national ID & the utility bill required but I got an email that your request is denied. I got paid on the 27 of Oct and didn't receive the transferred amount to my local bank and surprised that all my payment methods changed to inactive with the reason the name in my bank account was different from than upwork account although both upwork name and bank account name are the same. I have uploaded all the required documents mentioned in an email received from Upwork on a ticket created 2 days ago but I got nothing till now. I can't reach anyone from customer care just a chatbot that not helpful at all. How can I reactivate the payment methods again?

Top of the morning to all Channel Moderators...
As many of us have stated, I'm having problems with the verification of my ID and the Selfie, I've been waiting for an answer for almost a week and my ID needs to be verified by 11/16 otherwise I'm going to have issues with my payment.
Can you please take prompt actions on this? It is not my fault that the system was not able to verify my ID with plenty of time to spare, and my payment shouldn't be withheld over an error on your end.
Thank you very much for your time.
PD: Also, why isn't there a customer support email address for these types of questions that need a quick resolution? The bot feature is AWFUL, I've used it a few times and it hasn't helped me a bit, I read all the queries from fellow freelancers and they all complain about the chat BOT being inefficient, please consider improving it drastically or removing it for once.

I have been trying to pass the video verification on Upwork for over seven or eight times, but it still hasn't worked. The deadline is in three days and I really need help.
I'm sure that the ID and the video are of the same person.
Nov 14, 2023 07:36:37 AM by Shaurya S
Hi!
I have tried completing my identity verification thrice, and it successfully completes my ID document verification.
But it doesn't complete the Visual verification.
It just shows "We are reviewing your selfie which typically takes a few minutes, but could take up to 1 business day." but it has been a long time (a week perhaps).
Please help me out with this!
