The rules

• The form takes your photo live on the camera. You do not upload one.
• No cap, mask or spectacles. Good light, a plain background, camera at eye level.
• Never photograph an old photo. Those applications are rejected.
• Blurred or miniature signatures are rejected summarily.
• Applications made through Aadhaar authentication are not rejected on these photo and signature grounds.

What a checker cannot see

This checks the signature file. It cannot see whether the live photo in the form meets the rules.
