How does ID verification affect bidding?

Recently, while looking at the profiles of other lancers, I saw that there was an ID verify item.

Will this affect my customers' choice of me?

How do I do ID verify when it has a good effect?

Hi Leomer,

 

Thank you for reaching out and raising this query here in the Community. Successful and lasting client-talent relationships in our community start with a strong foundation of trust. To help ensure a professional, secure marketplace that everyone can trust, we’re moving toward requiring all active talent to verify their identity.

 

Once you’ve verified your identity, we’ll put an Identity Verified badge on your profile. The badge displays as a checkmark next to your name. This lets anyone who sees your profile know that we’ve taken steps to confirm that you are whom you say you are.

 

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.
