How to Verify Your ID on Upwork

Overview

Verification on Upwork is a crucial step to boost your credibility, potentially landing more projects. The process is simple and straightforward. However, it’s crucial to follow the guidelines accurately.

Steps to Verify Your ID on Upwork:

1. Notification

   You will receive an email from Upwork prompting you to start the ID verification process. This generally happens once you’ve landed your first job on the platform.

2. Prepare Your Documents

   You need a high-quality, color scan or a digital picture of a government-issued identification (such as your passport, driver’s license or National Identity Card).

3. Proceed with the Verification

   Follow the link provided in the notification email received from Upwork. Fill in the necessary information, upload the scanned copy or digital photo of your ID.

4. Video Verification

   After the document is approved, you’ll need to do a quick video call with an Upwork representative where you’ll be asked a few simple questions to establish your identity.

5. Verification Confirmation

   Upon successful completion, you’ll receive a verification badge displayed on your profile, adding to your credibility.

Important Note:
Make sure the name on your profile matches the name on your ID, and the ID must be valid (not expired). Failure to comply might result in Upwork suspending your account for violating its policy.
