Do You Need ID for UpWork?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 11:44 am

As the world increasingly moves towards a freelancer-based economy, more and more people are looking for platforms like UpWork to find work. But what do you need in order to create an account and start finding work on UpWork?

The simple answer is: all you need is an email address. That’s right, you don’t need to provide any sort of identification in order to create an account on UpWork. All you need to do is go to the sign-up page, enter your email address, and create a password.

PRO TIP: If you are seeking to use Upwork as a freelancer, you will need to have some form of government-issued identification in order to create an account. This is to prevent fraud and ensure that only those who are of legal working age can create an account.

Of course, once you’ve created an account, you’ll want to start filling out your profile so that potential clients can learn more about your skills and experience. But even this isn’t required – you can start bidding on jobs and sending proposals immediately after signing up.

So if you’re looking for work on UpWork, there’s no need to worry about whether or not you have the right ID – all you need is an email address and you’re good to go!
