|---|---|---|---|
| signature | About 6.0 cm (width) × 2.0 cm (height); no pixel size given | JPEG/JPG, 10 KB to 20 KB | JPG / JPEG |
Signature
- Crop close to the signature so it is roughly three times as wide as it is tall.
- The notice gives the size in centimetres only, so PixelKaro keeps your pixels and only matches the KB range and format.
What else to know
- There is no photo to upload. The application module captures your photo live (paragraph 9.4).
- Do not wear a cap, mask or glasses/spectacles while the photo is captured (paragraph 9.4).
- Do not capture a photo of an existing photograph; it leads to rejection (paragraph 9.5).
- Blurred, very small or non-compliant signatures lead to rejection (paragraph 9.6).
- Candidates who choose Aadhaar-based authentication during registration are not rejected on photograph or signature standards (paragraph 9.3).
