How to Know If Your Upwork Account Has Been Approved

Introduction

Welcome to the world of freelancing at Upwork! As you’re new, it’s natural to have questions about the process. Now, about your query on how to tell if your Upwork account has been approved:

Steps to Verify Account Approval

• Step 1: Log into your Upwork account and check your dashboard.
• Step 2: Look out for a notification on the ‘notifications’ bell or in your messages that says “Congratulations, your account has been approved.” This is often the most straightforward method of confirmation.
• Step 3: Check your email. Official approval emails are typically sent from the address no-reply@upwork.com with the subject line “Congratulations! Your Upwork Registration is Approved.”

What to do if your account hasn’t been approved?

If you do not receive a notification or an email, your account may still be under review or not approved yet. Don’t worry, this is quite common as Upwork thoroughly reviews all accounts to maintain the market’s quality. Bear in mind that the review process can take up to 24 hours. If after this period you still do not have a confirmation, it would be best to reach out to Upwork Help Center directly for further assistance.

Tip

Patience is key: Don’t rush the approval process. It’s better to wait for official confirmation than to get your account suspended due to impatience or repeated attempts.

Remember, the Upwork community is always here to help, so don’t hesitate to ask any further questions that you might have.
