apply now button is grey

[#1]

I'm new to this platform, but I'm experiencing an issue I see is common amongst other freelancers on this platform. My Apply Now button is greyed out on jobs, including inside an invitation I've received to apply for a job.

I've received zero communication, notifications, or emails indicating an issue with my account. What am I missing?

Hi Gabriela,

Thank you for reaching out. I see that this is happening because you need to verify your identity. Please visit your Identity Verification settings page so you can complete the process.
