Roman Catholic AnswerNo, it is not a requirement. Nuns belong to a particular monastery or religious order. Most nuns are Benedictine, Carmelite, Cistercian, or Carthusian. I'm sure that there are others, but these are the biggest and most well know. Each monastery has its own set of rules, although they usually have a charter or something in common. Many orders or monasteries require their nuns to be veiled, others do not. The Vatican has asked that all sisters and nuns wear veils, but unless their Order or their superior require it, there is little, normally, that Rome can do.

Sisters are not nuns, but the answer is the same for them.
