This article is a follow-up guide to our previous blog, How To Register For A Freelancer Account On The Aevaru Platform.
Please read it first before continuing to this blog if you haven’t already done so.
In this blog, we’ll go into more detail on what is required to have your Aevaru freelancer account and profile approved.
1 – Identity Verification
Proving your identity is the first step in ensuring your freelancer account is approved. Please make sure you provide the legal documents necessary. We require a Proof of Identity document, in the form of a government-issued Passport, Identity Document, or Driver’s License with at least 2 years’ validity, and a Proof of Address that is no older than 6 months.
2 – Completeness
We only approve Freelancer profiles that are complete. Be sure to complete every field marked *required, and provide as much information as possible.
3 – Your Purpose & Why
It’s important to us to know what motivates and drives you to do the best work possible. In your application, please state your purpose, why you do what you do, and the type of services you deliver.
4 – Portfolio Items
Add at least two or three portfolio items to your profile.
Step 5 – Profile Setup
Once you have completed the Aevaru Identity Verification step, you’ll see a success message and a notice that your account is not yet verified.
To get your account verified, please complete your profile as diligently as possible. Each profile is thoroughly checked by our team, and only complete profiles will be approved.
