Can a 14 Year Old Work at UpWork?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 9:51 pm

As of October 2019, the minimum age to create an UpWork account and use our platform is 18. This means that you must be at least 18 years old to work on UpWork.

PRO TIP: There are a few things to consider before allowing a 14 year old to work on Upwork. The first is the legality of it. In some states, it is not legal for a 14 year old to work without a work permit. The second thing to consider is the maturity of the child. Is the child responsible enough to handle money and clients? If not, they may not be ready for Upwork.

There are a few exceptions to this rule. For example, if you’re a minor in the United States and your parent or guardian has given you permission to work on UpWork, you can create an account and work with a client. However, you must have your parent or guardian’s permission before you can start working on UpWork.

If you’re not sure if you meet the age requirements to use UpWork, or if you have any other questions about our platform, feel free to contact us.
