How to Change Location on Upwork

Use this interactive demo to learn how to update your location in Upwork account settings.

Quick summary

Changing your location on Upwork requires updating your contact information in Account Settings, then confirming the change with your password. This process ensures your profile accurately reflects your current city, province, and postal code for better job matching.


Steps

  1. Click on your profile picture or name in the top-right corner.
  2. Select 'Account Settings' from the dropdown menu.
  3. Scroll down to the 'Location' section and click the pencil icon next to your current location.
  4. Update your location details, including address, city, province, and postal code.
  5. Click 'Update' to save the changes.
  6. Re-enter your password and click 'Continue' to confirm.

📌 Why this matters

Keeping your location accurate on Upwork directly affects which jobs appear in your Best Matches feed, since Upwork's algorithm uses location data to surface relevant local and regional opportunities. Freelancers who relocate or work across borders need a straightforward way to update their contact information without losing profile visibility. This step-by-step process ensures your Upwork profile location stays current, helping clients find you and helping you qualify for location-specific contracts. Accurate location settings also support compliance with Upwork's identity verification requirements, reducing the risk of account issues.
