Account verification is the process of verifying your identity and your address. What is verification for?
To verify their identity and address, freelancers need to upload certain documents. To learn about the requirements for such documents, see Verification rules.
Please note:
You need to photograph the original paper versions of your documents, and then upload them in JPG, JPEG, or PNG format.
All four corners of the document must be visible in the photo.
Photo should not be cropped or edited.
Electronic documents need to be uploaded in their original format (PDF).
Only non-handwritten, typed documents in Georgian, English, or Russian are accepted.
The same kinds of documents can be called differently and vary in content across countries. Based on the results of previous background checks, we have compiled recommendations to ensure successful verification:
Verifying your identity
For the first verification step, prepare the following documents:
Internal passport of Georgia's citizen
Foreign passport
ID card
Driver's license
Residence permit (certificate confirming legal residence)
Verifying your residential address
No matter which document you choose for the third verification step, it must contain all of the following information:
Your first and last name.
Your residential address
The logo, QR code, or seal of a well-known organization, or the signature of its representative.
Date of issue (maximum 6 months prior to the verification date).
We recommend using documents from your bank to verify the address, as that's what most successfully verified freelancers provided.
Document issued by a Georgian bank
Examples of documents: account statement, account opening agreement, bank certificate, bank reference and so on.
If a regular bank statement does not mention your name or residential address, request one from your bank that specifically includes your last name, first name, and residential address.
Documents from the following banks have worked well previously: Bank of Georgia, TBC Bank, Credo Bank, Solo Bank, Liberty Bank.

Notes on documents at the first and third verification steps
In order to successfully pass verification, upload any document from the list during the first step, and a bank statement or service bill at the third step.
Important! If you want to use only the internal passport during both the first and third verification step, follow the instructions below:
First, make a notarized translation of two pages of the internal passport: the main page with your photo and the page with registration details.
At the first step, upload a photo of the main page of the actual passport, and at the third step, upload that main page of the actual passport again, but this time also attach photos of the translated pages.
