Hi Roman,

 

If you are eligible or required to receive an “Identity Verified” badge, you can complete the two stages by going to Identity Verification in your Settings.

 

You may be asked to complete a visual verification and provide a valid government-issued ID. Acceptable documents include passport, national ID card (NIC/CNIC), driver's license, NBI Clearance (Philippines only), tax ID, voter ID, postal ID, or any other valid government-issued photo ID that meets these criteria.

 

Note that we occasionally ask users to re-verify because periodic checks ensure their accounts continue to reflect accurate information. Our goal is to make this process as seamless as possible and we thank you for your contribution to keeping Upwork a professional and safe community.



If you don't see a way to verify, that may be because you're not eligible yet. Please know that verification cannot be requested, but is slowly being rolled out to all talent. If the team finds the need to verify your account, you will be notified through an email, or through a notification in your account.

Identity verification section is not showing in my profile setting?
So how can I get a Verified Blue Tick Badge on Upwork?

Help me!

Upwork will let you know when it is time to validate your ID. You cannot request it.

I wonder if this is a good approach, as I am thinking some new freelancer without ID verified yet may be overlooked by clients, why would someone look at me if they cannot see I have my ID verified, which puts nebies at disadvantage.

I opened my account last week and I've not been sent a ID verification mail to verify my identity.

Is it a must for all users to receive the mail,cause I haven't received mine and I feel it's getting late 

Hi Similoluwa,

 

Please note that you will not be able to initiate the identity verification yourself and it cannot be requested. If the team finds the need for you to do it, you will receive an email detailing the instructions on how to complete your verification. You may want to check this help article for more information.

Hello, I've submitted the scan copy of my passport for "ID document verification". It has been almost 5 days but it is not verified yet. I've completed one job and I also have on going job on upwork. If it is not verified by 8th September my profile might be on hold.
What should I do now ?

Hi Sazid Ahmed,

 

I have reached out to the team handling your case and they confirmed that your ID has been verified. You should see the ID Verified badge on your profile as confirmation. Let me know if you need further assistance.

Hello! I had tried to upload my ID but failed quite a few times because I couldn't get the photo exactly right. Now, It says that In order to be able to try again I need to contact customer support since I ran out of attempts. The only issue is though, is that when I go to try and contact customer support, nothing shows up. It automatically sends me to the bot support chat- which doesn't help me whatsoever. I can't find where to contact- and nowhere I look leads me to it.

 

Any help would be great.

Hi Entity,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. I shared your report with our team and one of our agents will reach out to you using a support ticket to assist you further. You can access your support tickets here.

 

Please also check this article on how you can get connected with one of our agents using the Support Bot moving forward.

The same exact thing has been happening to me and I haven't gotten any support for it. The chat bot is very unhelpful and I wish that there was a phone number I could call instead of waiting several days for a response back.

Hello!
I need to get verified. I am a citizen of the Russian Federation and now I live in Ukraine. I have a rental agreement for an apartment and a utility bill. Can I just take a picture of these documents and send them (they are in the official language of Ukraine - Ukrainian)? Or do I need to translate these documents from Ukrainian into English? My name is on these documents, but it is written in Ukrainian. What should be done?

Hi Darya,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us.  I would like to clarify that you can send the image of the documents preferably in PDF format in the original form and language. Feel free to check out this help article for the list of acceptable documents for verification.

Hi Pradeep H

I am experiencing the issue,

I've submitted my ID for verification a day ago, but it is still showing the "We're reviewing your documents and will get back to you within 1 business day." note. How long will this take?


Would appreciate an urgent response to this.

Hi,

My profile is 100% completed however not able to do ID verification.

Can anyone please suggest how its works? 

It will be a great help!

 

Thanks! 

Hi Rekha,

 

It doesn't look like you need to verify your account yet. Please know that verification cannot be requested, but is slowly being rolled out to users of Upwork. If the team finds the need to verify your account, you will be notified through an email, or through a notification in your account with more information on how you can complete the verification process.

Hi Andrea,

 

Thanks for your reply! Got it 

Since my account is not verified, will I be able to accept invites?

Do clients find my account reliable since it's not verified?

Hi Rekha,

 

Yes, you can still accept invites sent by the client. While having a verified profile gives that extra advantage, there are clients who would choose freelancers based on their proposal submitted on the job and the completeness of the freelancer's profile which includes all required information for the client to make a decision. 

 

Thank you,

Pradeep

no rekha there's no way they work with you only it's a possibility to reach them and discuss finally they'll go for previous freelancer or rely on verified ones

only focus to get verified 

good luck

How can I retake the selfie for authentication? The system loaded without me confirming.

Hi Gulnihal,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. It looks like you already passed the visual verification and you already completed the ID verification process. There is no need to do anything else in this regard. If you need assistance with anything else, please let us know and we'll be happy to help!

I sent my ID card to verification two days ago. And it didn't approve till now. When I will see Upwork decision? I'm worried a little bit, because it influences on my work process

Hi Anastasiia,

 

I'm sorry for the inconvenience as our team is currently receiving an unusually higher volume of requests. I reached out to the team to follow up on your ID verification status. Kindly allow us a few more days to review your submitted documents. Should we need more information, our team will send you an email with details on how you can complete the verification process. We appreciate your continued patience.

Hi. Thank you! The problem is that I have to confirm the documents before September 15th. Upwork reminds me of this. I only have two days left. And I don't know if I can sign contracts now. Because I don't have much time left. Perhaps I need to resend the photo documents, but I can't do it. For more than 5 days, verification has not passed.

Hi Anastasiia,

 

I understand. Rest assured that I followed up with the team to get an update on your verification status. As long as you were able to submit the documents needed before the set deadline, you'll be fine. The rest of the process will be dealt with by our team.

Hi there, 

I can't find Identity verification option in my profile settings. 

Please, help to fix this issue.

 

Hi Lusine,

 

We are slowly rolling this option out to freelancers. When you become eligible, we’ll notify you when you log into our site. You’ll be asked to upload an official government ID and meet with us for a quick video call. Once you successfully verify your identity, a badge will be added to your Upwork profile.


~ AJ
Upwork

Hi lusine 

you need to find a client in or outside of upwork to sign a contract with 

1.inside Upwork by searching jobs, send proposals which is a lil bit impossible as you're not verified.

2.either way you can send contract to some client you have and request to sign contract within Upwork platform.

 

its the only way to get the email to proceed to identity verification.

Hello sir/mam,

How can I know if my profile is verified or not?

And if it is not verified then what is the reason behind it?

And I haven't received any email of verification.
