Qualifications, credentials, and Passport

A Qualification helps determine whether you meet a specific CampaignA developer's data-production project and its settings's conditions. Self-reported background, identity verification, skill credentials, course results, and agreements are different kinds of evidence; one does not replace another.

Complete self-reported background

Open Account → Self-reported background and fill in the applicable areas:

Select Save Information. You can save in parts, but to be matched with tasksA specific item a contributor claims or enters the profile needs all of these: your current country of residence, your highest degree, at least one occupation area, at least one skill, and at least one language marked Native. Still needed to be matched with tasks lists whatever is missing; until it is empty, the profile counts as incomplete. Saved Native language entries and occupation areas become fixed after your first save, so check them before you save. If one is wrong, use Help or contact support to request a correction. Saving self-reported information is not identity or professional verification.

For identity, open Passport and select the Identity chip, shown in a warning colour until you are verified, or select Verify now in Earnings. Read Before you submit on that page before providing a document or selfie: it explains identity-check use, third-party image processing, retention, and consent. Authorized platform reviewers may inspect the submitted images when a manual review is needed. The verification result shown in Passport is separate from the original images.

For a capability assessment, open Passport → Credentials → Verify your skills. Select Begin on the opening screen, choose the relevant skill direction at the following Choose a focus step, and complete the adaptive interview. The last step, Assessment, shows Verified, Almost there (a reviewer is taking a second look), Not passed yet (you can take another run), or Result unavailable. A verified result adds a badge and a reputationA 0–100 score built from a Contributor's recorded work; it sets their tier and pay factor reward to your profile. If your identity is not verified yet, both are held for 7 days from the result: complete identity verification inside that window, because a hold that passes 7 days expires and is not awarded afterwards. An attempt flagged for integrity review keeps its rewards withheld even when the outcome is Verified and your identity is already verified, so completing identity verification does not release those rewards. This interview is different from submitting an existing license or qualification. For another proof type, follow the specific Campaign requirement and its verification instructions; if no route is offered, contact support with the Campaign, requirement, and a redacted message. Check that flow's explanation of who uses or sees its materials before submitting them; the identity-page terms do not automatically apply to it. If the flow gives no such explanation, contact support before you submit anything. A required course opens from the Campaign or Learn. Do not upload identity documents to an ordinary task form.

Verify your identity

On Identity verification, choose a Document type (Passport, Driver's license, State ID, Resident ID card, or HK/Macao travel permit), add the photos it asks for and a Selfie (for face match), read Before you submit, give your consent, and select Submit for verification. You must be at least 16.

Before you submit explains how long the images are kept. You can withdraw consent and ask support to delete your facial biometric data at any time.

Read Passport

Passport opens on Overview, which summarizes Identity, Credentials, Reputation, Reputation by role, Roles & teamsA relationship among Contributors that leaves each member's Submissions and Earnings their own, Recent activity, and Badges; Achievements is the second tab. Your Passport is shown only to you today, so the Privacy button is locked until public Passports ship. This is different from the account's public profile.

Credential counts include Not checked, Not provided, Verified, Expired, and Revoked. A count cannot establish that a particular Campaign requirement is satisfied. Open the verification page or record that produced the individual credential:

After resolving the specific item, return to the original Campaign → Getting started and check the remaining requirements before selecting Join campaign. Use How your score works for reputation and All badges for badges.
