Upwork Profile Review Time

General Timelines

Usually, it takes the Upwork team about 24 hours to review your profile. However, in some instances, it might take up to 48 hours.

Factors That Affect Review Time

Several factors can affect how long it takes for Upwork to review your profile:

Profile Completeness

• The completeness of the information provided. If you have filled in all the details accurately and comprehensively, the process might be quicker.
• Quality of the information provided. If your skills, experiences, and services are clearly defined and match the platform’s demands, the profile is likely to get verified sooner.

Upwork’s Verification Backlog

• The number of registrations at a given time. Periods of high demand may delay approval times as Upwork handles a large volume of applications.

Note: After the wait, if your profile is approved, you will receive an email. If it is not approved, you will still receive an email with guidance on improving your profile to meet the platform’s standards.
I hope this helps. Best of luck on your freelance journey with Upwork!
