FAQ

Why do I need to upload my vaccination certificate?

We want to make sure that you have the most opportunities available, and that going to work is as seamless as possible.

I have uploaded my vaccination certificate. How long does it take for it to be approved?

Our community team is working round the clock to ensure that all certificates are reviewed as soon as possible. Usually, approvals will be very quick, but in some cases, it may take up to 48 hours.

Why was my vaccination certificate rejected?

Our community team regularly reviews all vaccination certificates to ensure that we maintain the most up-to-date and accurate vaccination status of tall our professionals. Our community team might reject a vaccination certificate if

  • Either 'name' or 'date of vaccination' is not clearly visible in the uploaded photo

  • The name on the certificate does not match with the profile name in the Instawork app

  • The image uploaded is poor quality, not legible, or has been tampered with

I'm vaccinated but don't have a vaccination certificate

In this case, you should self-identify yourself as vaccinated when you book a shift. Partners may still require you to produce some proof of vaccination. Unfortunately, if you show up to work and the partner finds your proof unacceptable, you may be turned away from the shift. You can reach out to your vaccination provider to see if you can obtain documentation of your vaccination.
