When I first created my account on Onlinejobs.ph, I was very excited to start my online job hunt. But I was suddenly stopped from applying by this message “You don’t have enough ID Proof.”

If you’re here, you probably encountered the same. But what exactly is ID proof?

ID proof is a system within Onlinejobs.ph (OLJ) that was created to help employers determine if a job seeker is a real person or not. ID proof is shown as a number, from 0 to 100.

Note: As of March 2025, 70 is the highest you can get. Older accounts may have higher ID proof but that doesn’t matter. Just get yours as high as you can and start applying.

By increasing your ID proof on Onlinejobs.ph, your potential employers will be able to tell that your application is genuine and it will therefore increase your chances of getting hired. You’ll also be able to earn crucial Onlinejobs.ph Apply Points after you have been verified.

Lastly, ID Proof is also an essential part of your professional profile on Onlinejobs.ph so you shouldn’t ignore it.

In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to increase your ID proof.

4 Steps to Increase Your ID Proof on Onlinejobs.ph

1. Verify Your Email

UPDATE: This method no longer increases ID proof but is still a requirement for new accounts.

Verifying your email is easy. You should have received an email from Onlinejobs.ph after you finished registering as a jobseeker on their website.

This is the email I received and yours should also look like the one pictured below:

Just click on the link in that email and your email verification will be done instantly.

2. Upload a Valid Government-Issued ID (+40 ID Proof)

To upload a valid government ID, you need to go to the Onlinejobs.ph verification page.

Choose the first option, ‘Verify my Government ID‘, among the three buttons pictured above and you will be taken to the page below.

They have very detailed instructions about the requirements of uploading an ID for Onlinejobs.ph so make sure to follow them carefully.

Please note that the ID you upload must have your name, picture, and signature. Onlinejobs.ph will only accept the following government-issued IDs:

UMID
Driver’s License
Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) ID
Passport
Senior Citizen ID
SSS ID
COMELEC / Voter’s ID
Philippine Identification (PhilID)
Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) ID
Phil-health ID
Firearms License
AFPSLAI ID
PVAO ID
AFP Beneficiary ID
BIR (TIN)
Pag-ibig ID
Person’s With Disability (PWD) ID
Solo Parent ID
Philippine Postal ID
Other Valid Government-Issued ID with Photo & Signature

Take a photo of the ID you are going to use and upload it to the website. Next, take another photo but this time as a selfie that shows both your face and the ID.

After you submit both photos for review, it will take about two to three days for the ID verification process to be completed.

3. Verify Your Address (+25 ID Proof)

You can verify your address by again going through the Onlinejobs.ph verification page but this time you have to choose the middle button that says ‘Verify my Address‘.

Again, there are detailed instructions on the page on what kinds of address verification methods are accepted. This includes:

Electric Bill
Water Bill
Phone / Internet Bill
Credit Card Statements
Bank Statements
Insurance Statements
Parcel Delivery Receipts (Lazada, Shopee, etc.)

Note that the billing date should be within 3 months before the current month.

Your document must show your billing address with your name on it.

Just like the ID verification, verifying your address also takes two to three business days. It’s a good idea to do them at the same time so you don’t wait for more than necessary.

While waiting for your ID proof verification, you should get your essential work from home equipment ready.

A common mistake most beginners make is not considering the toll of long working hours in front of a computer on the body. It’s a mistake I also made when I was starting out.

I totally understand that beginners may not have the budget for all the big WFH equipment yet. So at the very least, I recommend getting a laptop stand for your work station.

Once properly adjusted, a laptop stand helps prevent pain in your wrists, neck, and back. And you can usually get a laptop stand from Lazada or Shopee for below Php 200.

4. Verify Your Mobile Number (+5 ID Proof)

Similar to the previous two steps, verifying your mobile number is also done through the Onlinejobs.ph verification page. This time, just click on the 3rd button ‘Verify my Mobile Number.’

Just enter your mobile number on the page pictured below.

You will then be asked to message Onlinejobs.ph’s phone number with the validation code from their website using your phone.

After sending the validation code, you can try refreshing the page. If successful, you should see a ‘Successfuly Verified’ page like below.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to upload your ID on Onlinejobs.ph?

According to Onlinejobs.ph, your ID will only be used for identity verification purposes and OLJ will not share your personal information with others.

Once your identity has been verified, your ID proof will increase. This is a numeral indicator that ensures potential employers that you are who you say you are. So, you have a higher chance of landing an online job.

However, there may be some data that OLJ shares that you might be uncomfortable with. I urge you to check their background data check example page before you go through the ID proof verification process. There, you can see what OLJ shows employers on their platform.

I am personally not comfortable sharing my address and phone number unless I was already hired by the company. However, it seems to be unavoidable if you want to use Onlinejobs.ph to apply for work.

Why does my profile on Onlinejobs.ph show only "Zero" ID proof?

If you have just submitted your ID and other information for verification, then it will take a bit more time for your ID proof to increase.

There are no longer any methods that increase your ID proof on Onlinejobs.ph that do so instantly. They all have to go through a manual verification process by the OLJ team. This can take a few days to complete. So, you’ll have to wait for a bit for your ID proof to increase further.

How long is the ID verification process on Onlinejobs.ph?

It will take 2 to 3 working days for your ID to be verified so that your ID proof will increase. But I’ve seen cases where it took as short as 1 day or as long as 1 week.

If your Onlinejobs.ph ID verification is taking too long, don’t hesitate to contact their support team through OLJ’s Facebook page or by emailing them at [email protected].

If you are in a rush, you should by verify your email, home address, and mobile number all at the same time to decrease the waiting time.

You can still make the most out of your time while waiting. Start by researching job posts and updating your resume based on the work’s requirements.

You might have heard this before “The more applications you send, the more chances of winning”. From my experience, this is only partially true when applying for an online job.

Instead, I recommend taking the time to customize your job application carefully for each job you’re applying for. We at remotefilipinoworker.com made a tool called the RFW Job Excelerator and I use it myself when applying for online work.

The tool will ask you to answer a career questionnaire. Then, it uses AI to create your resume and interview helper based on the job’s requirements. I recommend using it to create better-targeted job applications to increase your chances of success.
