How Can I Change My Profile Name in UpWork?

Last updated on January 28, 2023 @ 1:14 pm

If you’re a freelancer on UpWork, you may want to change your profile name at some point. Maybe you’ve changed your name in real life, or maybe you just want to use a different name on the site. Whatever the reason, it’s easy to do. Here’s how:

First, log in to your account and click on the “Settings” tab at the top right. Then, click “Edit Profile” in the menu on the left. On the next page, under “Basic Info,” you will see your current profile name. To change it, simply delete your current name and type in the new one.

Once you’re done, scroll down and click “Save Changes.”

That’s it! Your new profile name will now be visible to anyone who views your profile.

PRO TIP: If you’re looking to change your profile name on Upwork, be warned that this is not possible. Your profile name is set when you create your account and is based on the email address you used to sign up. While you can’t change your profile name, you can update the name that appears on your profile by editing your account settings.

Keep in mind, however, that changing your profile name will not change your UpWork username. Your username is what you use to log in to the site, and it cannot be changed. If you want to use a different name on UpWork but keep your username the same, you can add a “Display Name” under “Basic Info.” This is the name that will be visible to other users, but your username will remain the same.

Conclusion

Changing your profile name on UpWork is a quick and easy process that can be done in just a few steps. Simply go to your settings, click on “Edit Profile,” and then type in your new profile name under “Basic Info.” Remember, changing your profile name will not change your UpWork username.
