Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 11:53 am

There are many reasons why you might need to upload your ID on UpWork. Perhaps you’re a new freelancer and you need to verify your identity in order to start working with clients.

Or maybe you’re an established freelancer who needs to upload a new ID in order to continue working on the platform. Whatever the reason, the process is relatively straightforward.

In order to upload your ID on UpWork, you’ll first need to log into your account. Then, click on the ‘Settings’ tab and select the ‘Verify Identity’ option from the drop-down menu.

PRO TIP: There have been reports of scammers posing as Upwork staff and asking for users’ IDs in order to gain access to their account. Do not give your ID to anyone claiming to be from Upwork, even if they say they need it for verification purposes. If you are unsure whether someone is legitimate, please contact Upwork support for help.

On the next page, you’ll be asked to select your country of residence and ID type. Once you’ve done that, you’ll be able to upload a copy of your ID.

When uploading your ID, make sure that all four corners of the document are visible in the frame. If possible, try to use a white or light-colored background for your photo.

This will help ensure that your ID is readable when uploaded. Once you’ve successfully uploaded your ID, UpWork will send you a confirmation email.

That’s all there is to it! Uploading your ID on UpWork is a quick and easy process that will help ensure that you’re able to work on the platform smoothly and without any issues.
