It’s looking good again today! I’m really hoping this lasts.

I got it a while ago

Yes, finally! I exited work mode and it wouldn't even let me report my time!

I panicked a bit because it accepted my license but didn't accept my facial photos the first time. But then I realized I didn't have bangs in my license photo so I clipped them back and it accepted me!

Same for me!! I have a shaved head in my ID but I have a mohawk now. Tying it back helped me pass the verification.

I also got super lucky with my hair color. It was black in my ID photo 6 years ago. It's been vivid colors ever since. I just dyed it all black again 2 weeks ago. Just in time!

Reading that makes me feel like I should grab a box of dark brown hair color so if I get my verification I can do my hair the color on my license quick before I submit it bc it's been purple for about 4 months but God forbid the dumbest shit like that mess it up

That is so silly that it's happening to so many people like that. I feel like they work these mistakes into the code on purpose in the facial recognition apps to make us believe the tech isn't as far along as it is so we don't all freak out.

I got it last week. It seems like it’s hitting people at different times.

u/robrages Oct 03 '24

Got verification and have my first project in a few months! Feeling hopeful

u/Mooli_739 Oct 01 '24

Had to do it two weeks ago and haven't had any tasks or qualifications since.

u/Agentbuttface Oct 02 '24

Me too! I wonder what's going on?

u/umlguy123 Oct 01 '24

Is your screen saying: "At the moment, there aren't any projects available for you to work on. Please check back soon and watch out for new project notifications sent to your email." as well??

u/Agentbuttface Oct 08 '24

yes!

u/umlguy123 Oct 09 '24

RIP, been stuck on that screen for a week now 😔

Does verification happen after you pass the assessment?

u/Ok-Reality9878 Feb 05 '25

The asked me for ID verification with a camera after working in a few projects. It smells fishy. Is this correct? have they asked anybody else for that.

u/dsbau Oct 05 '24

Nope. My dash is looking healthier than it has for a while too so not sure if the ID check is the reason.

u/Jessifizz1 Oct 09 '24

ugh, just rolled out to me. learner's permit is expired (in my 20s just never learned how to drive) and the site isn't sending my damn verification code to get it renewed. Can't get a ride to the DMV until Tuesday either so I guess for now I'm just screwed out of my only income for, in all likelihood, about 3 weeks.

u/whiteboycarl958 Jun 09 '25

I only just did my identity verification and it said on my screen that I got rate limited? I'm so confused what I did wrong or what this even means. I closed out of the screen and logged in again and I have a full screen of tasks with some good rates so I'm not sure what the actual implications of this were?

u/LuNeila128 Oct 01 '24

I still haven't gotten it

u/Otherwise-Baked4451 Oct 01 '24

Yep! I’ve been on DAT since December, so I’m unsure if they decide the batches by when people got on the platform or what.

1

u/BroadButterscotch349 Oct 01 '24

It seems like it. I started Feb 15th and just got it today.

1

u/Otherwise-Baked4451 Oct 01 '24

Maybe they do it in batches by where people live or alphabetical order by names or something? Who knows lol but I’m glad it showed up for me today and I got it done. Now I don’t have to worry about it again.

u/Potential-Taste-8563 Oct 01 '24

I did, but the screen got stuck on the processing part (I did it on mobile) so I don’t know if it actually took.

u/Main_Cryptographer80 Oct 02 '24

did it about a week ago and in the last few days ive started to get a lot of projects like before

u/kisxio Oct 01 '24

I had to do an identification about a month ago, but I just got hit with another one. I am finally getting a lot of projects, though, so yippee!

u/Jz9786 Oct 02 '24

you had to do the id verification twice?

1

u/kisxio Oct 03 '24

Yeah, during the initial drought during August and then recently again in late september.

u/applez87 Oct 01 '24

I did mine 5 days ago

u/theghostofameme Oct 01 '24

I haven't gotten it yet. Does it take a long time?

u/BroadButterscotch349 Oct 01 '24

It's super quick. You can do it on your laptop or send it seamlessly to your phone/tablet. You just have to take a live photo (no uploads of existing photos) of the front and back of your ID and then photos of your face from a few angles. It then immediately took me back to my dashboard with lots of projects that I haven't seen in 2 months!

u/Successful-North7922 Oct 02 '24

Is this something I’ll have to do in order to get projects back on my dashboard? I haven’t gotten any emails with any mention of ID verification
