brandedservices Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 this is kinda crAZY, people would be spending alot of money to make new english cards, what if countries that dont even make english cards for instanceand why would should any body go through hassle to create those cards even when they never know fiverr can kick them out or knock the gig out of the searchesi am seriously disappointed when i heard my friend account got banned because of 3 tries maximum, all he had was a low budget phone and ID in the national language urduHe got banned for something that is not his fault the AI should be smart enough to know thisI am verified because i have luckily overseas ID (btw i never know that for sure) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariashtelle1 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Just look at this from the prospective of fiverr. It’s internatinal platform supported by English speakers and gigs can be only in English here.They just can not verify each document for each country in their national language. Especially because some internal documents in some countries looks like a paper that you can easily fake.They are just trying to follow international standards and they don’t have enough people speaking each language.

They ask for a valid ID and, as long as the ID is valid, the user is in the clear. Otherwise they should declare that the platform is open only to those who have an ID in English.

Internal documents only valid INTERNALY. This is international company and valid ID should be covered with international law because they have different level of protection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was racism directed against Pakistani, only Urdu would be forbidden, and not every language that isn’t English.Fiverr is an Israeli company, and I don’t see them allowing documents in Hebrew, either.

miiila Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 When I Google “Pakistan national identity card”, there are loads of images of “the CNIC (Computerised National Identity Card) that Pakistan is using” and they are in English actually, apart from the name of the ID owner in both local and English script.My own ID has German/English/French, I assume many if not most or all countries nowadays issue IDs that at least have English too.Price is another issue, those things aren’t cheap here either, but everyone is obliged to have one in any case, so we have the “advantage” in this case of being able to produce one right away, on the other hand one could say that people in countries where it’s not obligatory had that advantage of not needing to have (and pay for) one so long.If those CNICs are a new(er) thing and not everyone has/must have one anyway, Fiverr definitely should grant people the time it takes to get one (same for any country similar things apply to), but IDs that are usable to ID people even without needing staff that speaks n languages exist.

Even with proof, it would not surprise me if there was a grain of truth since Fiverr seems to be requiring more investment to retain an account. (Investment might be financial, might just be advance planning, etc.) 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcopywriter Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 When does Fiverr asks for ID? I’ve never been asked for ID. I don’t even remember if PayPal asked me for ID.Only employers and people who need to issue me a W9 (tax form) often ask for ID.As for “racism,” that is incorrect. Language is not a race, a language can be learned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Language is not a race, a language can be learned.The ID thing is new. They started asking for ID verification from some sellers several months ago. I’ve seen people post about being asked in USA, EU and elsewhere so it’s not restricted to country. It seems to be more likely when people have moved a lot, used a VPN, used a payment source belonging to a relative or a dozen other things that might make Fiverr want to double-check on who is using the account for transfer of funds.

pacquo Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I opened a ticket (title: Account verification: do the ID documents have to be in English?) including a link to this thread. Their answer:Each country has a set of Id׳s that are accepted by us. In certain cases, English is the default, however, not for all cases. I see that you are Italian and if in the case you are requested to verify your ID note that there shouldn’t be a problem with an Italian ID or drivers license.So the requirement depends on the country. A list of the accepted IDs for each country would be handy.It’s an information that one should know in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
