I wear a veil, how do I upload my profile picture with it on?

[#1]

I wear a veil so i didn't upload my picture on my profile, instead used a cartoon. Now that i know there is no way around it and i have to put my real picture, I'm trying to change the picture and i cant. I have sent upwork my verification request already with my ID and real picture. I'm scared of they will suspend me?

Can I upload my pic wearing a mask? Is it going to affect my client-reach rate? I don't want to reveal my face for religious reasons. Hope you understand. Looking forward to your reply.

Hi Annie! Can I use a pic in which I am wearing a mask? Due to religious obligations I do not want to reveal my full face. Hope you understand. I have verified my ID but I am worried about the profile picture.

Looking forward to your reply!

[#10]

Based on religious grounds I am not comfortable sharing it.

Hi Barakah,

You may upload a photo where your face is covered but still, a photo is required in order to complete your profile and not be subjected to any restrictions. 

I placed an exception on your account so you don't need to upload a photo that completely shows your face.

[#12]

I already went through the verification process to verify my identity but now how do I upload my picture while keeping my veil.

Hello there 

I'm new to upwork,

I am in the process of completing my bio ,

im in the last step where I need to upload my profile photo .

For religious purposes I wish to upload a picture of myself with a face veil,

is that accepted?

[#16]

Hi Fathima,

We understand your concern and allow me to assist you with this. I've added an exemption to your account due to religious purposes. Kindly upload a profile picture with a veil, and we'll have that reviewed. Thank you for reaching out to us here in the community. 

[#17]

I have been trying for long, then get to know that for veiled photographs special request has to be made. I request Upwork support to kindly allow me to upload my veiled photograph for religious reasons. Would be thankful

Hi Samar,

Thank you for reaching out to us. Could you please try uploading your chosen photo now? Let us know if you face any issues.

[#19]

Still unable to upload it, when I select the photo, it gives no option to
move forward except to close that window which means no uploading. I wonder
why that is!

Hi Samar,

Could you please try again after clearing Cookies and Cache on your browser? You can also try using a different browser. Please ensure the image you're trying to upload is in .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .png format and at least 250px by 250px and no more than 4000 x 4000px. Also, make sure that it's a clear photo of yourself, not a long shot, that your face is visible. Feel free to message us if problems persist.

Hope everyone is fine, I want to use my profile photo wearing burqa for religious reasons, and shortly after uploading the profile photo a warning is showing on my profile, however I did not use burqa photo to complete all the verification process including visual verification, hope to get permission soon.

Hello

In my opinion Upwork team want to interview in this case and then verify id
