UPSC, SBI & Civil Exam Guidelines for Add Date to Photo
Adding clear candidate names and Dates of Photograph (DOP) onto passport photos is a mandatory registration requirement for many national recruitments. The Add Date to Photo on ResizeHub is designed to help applicants generate compliant, professional photo labels that meet these guidelines.
Competitive portals use automated computer scanning systems to verify candidate files. Photos without proper name or date stamps, or those with hand-written overlays, can be automatically rejected. Our tool lets you create a clean white banner at the bottom of your photo, rendering crisp black text with adjustable fonts and custom formatting completely offline.
Always verify the current requirements in the official notification before submitting your application. Formatting and sizing standards can vary by exam board and recruitment cycle.
Key Features of the Sizing Engine
A closer look at the local processes and tools that power the ResizeHub platform.
Standard Bottom White Banner
Adds a solid white border strip at the bottom of your photo to print legible, high-contrast black text.
Official Formatting Options
Choose from standard date layouts like DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY to match specific portal requirements.
Adjustable Text Sizing
Scale font sizes easily to ensure candidate names and dates are centered and highly legible.
Target Size Optimization
Our integrated compression system ensures your final photo remains under mandatory size limits (e.g., 50KB).
When Are Name and Date Stamps Required?
Certain recruitment portals have strict rules regarding passport photo labels. Understanding these requirements helps prevent automatic registration errors.
The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) Rule
UPSC notifications state that the passport photo must clearly display the candidate's name and the date the photograph was taken (DOP) printed on a white border at the bottom. The photo must also have been taken within 10 days of the notification opening.
Legibility and Font Guidelines
Text overlays should be clear, solid, and easily readable. Avoid using cursive, colored, or artistic fonts, as automated scanning systems can reject these. Use standard sans-serif fonts in solid black.
Avoid Ruled or Hand-written Banners
Do not write your name or date on paper and paste it onto your photo, or write it by hand after printing. Banners must be digitally generated for clean, high-contrast scanning.
