Notification of Upwork Application Approval

Great question! As a platform, Upwork communicates important information primarily through email notifications and dashboard notifications within your Upwork account. Here’s how you’ll know about your application approval:

Email Notifications

Once your application has been approved, Upwork will send you an approval email to the email address linked with your account. Make sure to check your junk or spam folders in case it gets lost in there.

Note: Please ensure your account is set to receive all types of email notifications from Upwork.

Dashboard Notifications

Secondly, you’ll see a notification directly on your Upwork dashboard confirming your approval. This serves as an immediate update for users who are active on the platform.

Tip: Regularly check your Upwork dashboard during the application process.

Time Frame

The time it takes for application review can vary. However, you should generally expect to hear back within 24 hours upon submission. If your application is in review for more than 24 hours, consider contacting Upwork support for assistance.

If You’re Not Approved

Don’t despair if your application isn’t approved. Upwork provides feedback and you can use this feedback to revise and resubmit your application. Stay positive and persistent.

• Read the reasons for denial.
• Revise your profile based on the feedback given.
• Resubmit your application.

Note: There is no limit to how many times you can apply.

Hope this answers your question. Happy freelancing and best of luck!
