PRO TIP: If you do not verify your identity on Upwork, you may not be able to access certain features of the site or your account may be suspended.

If you’re new to UpWork, you may be wondering what happens if you don’t verify your identity. After all, the verification process can be a bit of a hassle.

Fortunately, it’s not required in order to start freelancing on UpWork. However, there are a few things to keep in mind if you choose not to verify your identity.

For starters, your account will be marked as unverified. This means that you may have difficulty getting hired by clients, as they may prefer to work with verified freelancers. Additionally, your account will be subject to certain limits, such as a lower monthly earning limit and a lower number of Connects (which are used to bid on projects).

Ultimately, whether or not you verify your identity on UpWork is up to you. If you’re just starting out and are having trouble getting hired, it may be worth going through the verification process. However, if you’re already established on the platform and are comfortable with the limits placed on your account, there’s no need to go through the hassle of verification.
