Last updated on January 27, 2023 @ 4:02 pm

If you’re new to UpWork and don’t have an account yet, follow these steps to create one:

  1. Go to UpWork.com and click Sign Up in the upper-right corner. Enter your email address and choose a password, then click Continue.
  2. On the next page, select I want to work. Then click Continue.
  3. Enter your first and last name, check the box to agree to the UpWork Terms of Service, then click Continue.
  4. Select your country from the dropdown menu and click Continue.
  5. Enter your phone number, then click Verify via SMS or Call Me Now. UpWork will send you a verification code via SMS or call you with the code if you choose Call Me Now.
  6. Enter the code in the verification field, then click Verify & Continue.
  7. On the following page, enter a few words about the kinds of services you offer or projects you’re interested in (optional), then click Continue.
  8. To finish creating your account, you’ll need to take some tests (optional). Click the Get Started button next to each test to begin. When you finish a test, a green checkmark will appear next to it on your profile page.

Congratulations! You’ve successfully created your UpWork account!

PRO TIP: If you are not a US resident, then do not create a US Upwork account. This is because you will not be able to get paid through Upwork if you are not a US resident.
