Why Do Government Recruitment Boards Require Name and Date on Photos?
In recent examination cycles, prominent examination bodies such as the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) and various State Police Recruitment Boards made it mandatory for candidates to upload photos bearing their full name and the exact Date of Photograph (DOP). This regulation prevents impersonation, ensures the applicant is submitting a recent photo (taken within the last 3 months), and streamlines identity verification during biometric screening at exam centers.
Standard Rules for Stamped Photographs:
- Bottom White Strip: The candidate's name and photo date must appear clearly printed on a crisp white background strip across the lower portion of the image.
- Date Requirement: The date printed on the photograph must not be older than three months from the notification release date.
- Legible Typography: The font must be bold, sans-serif, and black in color so optical recognition systems can parse the data clearly.
