Hi Andrea,

 

I want to get a religious exemption on my profile so that I can use a covered photo of myself as display pic. How to raise a ticket for that?

Hi Maheen,

 

Please try again to upload your profile photo with a covered face. If you experience any issues with adding it please reach back to us so that we can assist you accordingly.

Yeah it's approved. Thanks a bunch!

Hello. I'm new to upwork. I'm trying to submit my profile but it is required to upload a profile picture. I need religious exemption to that because i do not want to upload my profile picture. Please help me out.

Thanks in advance. 

You are allowed to upload a picture of yourself wearing religious garb.


If uploading any photo at all is something you are unwilling to do, then you are allowed to use any of the many Upwork alternatives which do not require freelancers to post a photo of themselves.

Hi Eemaan,

 

I shared your request with the rest of our team and one of our agents will reach out to you directly via a support ticket to assist you further.

 

Thank you.

Hi there,

 

I would like a religious exemption to not upload a profile picture please. I am completing my profile but I don't want to upload a picture of my face.

I saw that a previous topic like this was already discussed, so I clicked on a link supposed to help me "make request" , but it redirected me to here, "ask a question". So here I am :).

 

Can you help me please? Thank you.

Thank you

Hi Sabrina,

 

Could you please try uploading your profile photo? If you experience any issues, please let us know. Thank you!

Hi Joanne,

 

Thank you, I was wondering if I can put a logo that I can create on Canva, with my skill "copywriting" instead of a human picture?

I'm actually against pictures and prefer to put my skills on display AND I would not like people to recognize me since I'm doing it as a side job, anonymously. I'm willing to give you my ID and address justification with no problem :D.

 

Please.

Thank you for your comprehension.

No. That is not an option.

You want no photo. Upwork requires a real photo of you.

You want anonymity. Upwork emphasizes transparency and is built around maximizing ability for clients from all over the world to find you and your real information.

 

For multiple reasons, Upwork is definitely not the right platform for you. I wish you well as you look into other platforms that meet your preferences and needs.

Hi,

 

Ok. Thank you for your response.

 

I do like what Upwork is doing and I how it helping a lot of workers but I do hope one day there will be even more flexibility regarding the profile picture, as there is flexibility with other things you allow already. I hope there will be the right to not show a face but rather just put skills on display, like a CV with no picture.

 

But I do understand that it is the way you think is the most convenient to you.

 

Thank you.

I wish you the very best as well.

Hey there,I wear veil,how can i upload my profile picture?

Anyone please do help me with this issue!

Thanks in Advance

 

Upwork is a professional organization. It has to adhere to terms & conditions. Even a single mistake can land it in serious legal conundrum which may lead to huge financial ramification.

If i were in your place, i would have kept religion aside and follow its procedures.

Upwork ensures privacy as well.

Hi Bina,

Hi! I'm trying to set up my profile as a freelancer but don't want to upload my photo for religious reasons. I did try uploading one with a veiled face but it won't accept. Would love to be a part of Upwork if this can be resolved, please!
