03 · Eligibility

Who can apply

Remote. The listing names no countries. DataAnnotation's sign-up reportedly accepts applicants only from the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.

Not in Africa

As far as the listing and DataAnnotation's country rules show, this role is not open to people living in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa or Egypt. DataAnnotation in Africa

Apply from where you live, as yourself. Using a VPN or someone else's identity to get around a country rule breaks these platforms' terms, and it is the quickest way to lose an account and any unpaid earnings.

How to get in

You apply through DataAnnotation's own process. The steps from sign-up to first paid task are on its profile.

About this listing

We last confirmed this opening on Oct 31, 2026. Rates and hours come from the listing unless the note beside the rate says otherwise. Where the listing names no countries, the Africa status is our reading of it and of what is known of DataAnnotation's country rules, set out on its profile, and never marks a role more open than they show. The listing itself has the final word.
