This article presents a requirement for our freelancers. Failure to follow the process might represent a breach of the Freelancer Services Agreement. In this case, it could result in your account and payments being suspended.
Testlio requires all freelancers provide a verifiable identity to uphold the terms of the Freelancer Services Agreement. The reasons for this include:
To pay you
To determine ownership of duplicate or linked accounts
To assist you in resuming your account
To determine ownership of accounts showing suspicious or high-risk activity
Any other reason that Testlio deems appropriate, mainly to maintain the integrity of the network

Please note that you will receive two email notifications from the PandaDoc system: one after entering your contact details, and the other after submitting the form.

A utility bill (such as a gas, electricity, water, gas, or phone bill)

Please make sure the document you provide is the original document, clear, readable, in color, and not expired.
