When signing up as a freelancer on Raenest, we ask for details about your source of income to help verify your employment and ensure compliance with financial regulations. If you’ve selected freelancer as your employment type and Upwork as your earnings platform, we’ll request your Upwork Certificate of Earnings as proof.
Why do we need this?
Unlike traditional employees who receive pay stubs or employment letters, freelancers often earn from multiple clients, making income verification more complex. The Upwork Certificate of Earnings helps solve this by:
Proving your earnings history on the Upwork platform
Confirming that you have a legitimate source of income
Helping us verify your employment status and activate your Raenest account
We only use this information to verify your source of income. It is not shared or used for any other purpose.
What does the Certificate show?
This official Upwork document includes:
Your full name and address
Your Upwork profile title and URL
A statement confirming your freelance status on Upwork
Your gross earnings over the past 1, 3, 6, and 12 months from the date you generate the report
How to get your Upwork Certificate of Earnings
To download your certificate:
Log in to your Upwork account
Go to Manage Finances
Click Certificate of Earnings
The report will be generated as a PDF
You can download, save, email, or print the file
Once you’ve downloaded the certificate, upload it on Raenest to complete this step of your onboarding.
