Hi Nimra,

 

To complete your profile, you will need to provide your picture. If you are required to cover your face and would like to request a religious exemption, our team would be happy to assist you with it. Please let us know if you need further assistance. Thanks!

Hi there,
I'm trying to upload my photo but it can't be recognized because I'm wearing a face cover "Niqab".
I'm Muslim and this is a religious practice I follow.
What should I do?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for reaching out to us, Sara and Behishtia.

 

Could you please try uploading your profile photos again? Feel free to reach back to us if you need any additional assistance.

 

Thank you!

I dont want to use my picture as a profile image  because of religious purpose please let me know what should i do. 

 

re: "I dont want to use my picture as a profile image  because of religious purpose please let me know what should i do."

 

Freelancers on Upwork upload a photo.

Freelancers who wear religious garb may upload a photo of themselves wearing religious garb.

 

Freelancers who don't upload a photo at all are allowed to use other websites instead of Upwork.

Greetings,

I would like to request a religious exemption for using a profile picture, as i’m Muslim. I can provide the picture and passport for your verification.

What should i do?

Hello Fai,

 

I understand your concern about uploading a profile photo. I will be happy to share more information on this. To complete their Upwork profile, all Freelancers are required to upload a profile picture. If you need to cover your face for religious purposes, we can add a religious exemption to your profile to allow you to upload a profile photo that covers your face. Let us know if you'd like to add an exemption and we'll be happy to assist you further.

 

Thank you.

Please do coorporate..
Or make an option to set privacy on profile picture.

Thank you in advance.

I can’t upload my face picture either. Is there any other way you can verify my identity?

re: "I can’t upload my face picture either. Is there any other way you can verify my identity?"

 

You may upload your face picture.

You are allowed to do so with hajib, niqab, etc.

Specialized Upwork representatives can work with you to verify your identity if necessary, such as during video interviews.

 

Alternatively, you may choose to not upload a face photo of any kind while using other platforms that don't require such.

Hi Eesha,

 

Can you please try uploading your photo with a veil once again? You should be able to do it now.

~ Luiggi

it is required

Hi,

 

I think there is a chance that you may get a chance due to religious factors. I think the Upwork management will guide you further.

 

Thanks
