Fix Upwork Identity Verification
Can't start freelancing because Upwork won't verify you? 😤 You're not alone. Upwork's verification is notorious for rejecting perfectly valid IDs. Let's fix that.
Why Upwork Keeps Rejecting You
Upwork's verification is different from crypto exchanges — here's what trips people up:
Non-Latin Scripts
IDs in Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, or other non-Latin scripts have higher rejection rates. Upwork's OCR struggles with these characters, especially if there's any blur.
Video Selfie Issues
Upwork requires a video selfie where you move your head. Poor internet, bad lighting, or moving too fast causes failures. The "liveness check" is super sensitive.
Profile Name Mismatch
Your Upwork profile name MUST match your ID exactly. Using a nickname, maiden name, or different name order (First Last vs Last First) will fail verification.
Document Photo Quality
Upwork's document scanner is picky about edges, shadows, and background. Photos taken on beds, couches, or patterned surfaces often fail.
Every Day Unverified = Money Lost
Without verification, you can't withdraw earnings,
can't get Top Rated status, and some clients
won't even see your proposals.
If you're billing $30/hour and can't work for 3 days because of verification issues,
that's potentially $720 lost.
Freelancers Who Got Verified
"Rejected 3 times. Turns out my passport photo had a tiny glare on the hologram I couldn't see. FixKYC spotted it immediately. Passed on attempt #4!"
"My Ukrainian passport has Cyrillic text. The OCR kept failing. FixKYC told me exactly which angle made the English transliteration clearer. Finally verified!"
"I was about to give up on Upwork entirely. 5 failed attempts over 2 weeks. FixKYC showed me my ID edge was slightly cut off. ONE retake and I was in!"
