Having difficulty as a Nigerian to verify your ID using NIN?

Once you have NIN slip, you can use it for your ID verification. Just ensure it is well snapped and ensure the name, address on it tally with the ones on your profile.

Hello sir, I'm having issues verifying with my NIN as well. 
I have tried with the NIN slip as well as the NIN Digital card but still unable to verify my identity 

Hi Nnamdi,

 

I've checked and it looks like you've already successfully completed your verification. Don't hesitate to let us know if you need further assistance.

Hi PradeepH,

 

I was sent a verification email after landing my first gig. I tried using my Voters ID but it was rejected. Support sent an email and asked I use my NINS. I've tried uploading the NINS. It keeps saying "Can't find the 4 corners of your document". 

Today is the last day from the 7 days ultimatum. I don't know what to do anymore. I've reached out to support but I've not gotten any positive feedback. Please help.

Hi Success, 

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. I shared your report with the team handling your case and one of our agents will follow up with you on your support ticket as soon as possible to assist you further.

I am facing a similar challenge with getting verified with my NIN slip. Please support help, thank you
My deadline is fast approaching

Hi Omene,

 

Thank you for your message. You can select the option for a National ID card and upload your NIN and if there is no date of birth on it, then you will need to upload a birth certificate along with the NIN slip.

Thank you for your reply 
My NIN doesn't have a date of birth on it and I can only upload one image at a time on the verification page. The option of uploading my birth certificate along with the NIN slip isn't available and I tried editing the image to accomodate both documents but the verification didn't work

 

In that case, please proceed with uploading just NIN without editing the image. Our team will reach out to you if they need additional information.

There is no address on my NIN, but there is a barcode, i that okay. I submitted my NIN and upwork is asking me to resubmit.

Hi Peace, 

 

I see that the team contacted you directly via this support ticket with more information on why your submission was declined. I recommend that you refer to your ticket and don't hesitate to follow up with the team through the same ticket if you have questions.

Hi Rebecca,

 

Please refer to my response above to verify your account using NIN slip.

Upwork

Thank you.

 

I have resubmitted my NIN slip. In the id type I selected 'others' , I'm worried if this will affect my verification.

 

Please were you later able to verify via nin slip 

Please I will also need the team to reach out to me as well.

I have my NIN and birth certificate.

Please I don't want my account to be blocked. I have some funds in my Upwork account.

Hi Daniel,

 

I'm sorry if you're having difficulties verifying your ID. However, please be aware that the ID should be a valid government-issued photo ID (not a digital copy, expired or temporary). That said, we only accept the following, unexpired documents:
 
- Passport
- Residence Permit
- Election Card
- National ID
- Driver’s License

 

Once you are ready to resubmit, access your Upwork account Settings and click the Identity Verification tab to continue. Please check this help article for more information.
