I voted yes. The veil is simply to cover the face from male view and a woman employee of the court can easily check in private that is indeed the correct person.
As for crash helmets, if it was for a religious reason ad you could prove the religion did indeed exist then they can't treat you any differently. I doubt they'd take your religion as seriously though unless it was reasonable. The veil in theory does have a decent reason behind it, and although its a very odd thing to do in our eyes its very normal and important in the muslim faith and I dont see why we shouldn't respect that, as long as all precautions are taken to ensure it is the right person and all that then whats the problem?
In airports it should be the same, women check in a private booth or something, if they refuse this then they should be refused to fly.
