IBPS RRB (PO and Clerk) Photo and Signature Size 2026

FixDoks is an independent website and is not affiliated with any government body, exam board or recruitment agency. Requirements change, so always confirm them in the latest official notification.

For IBPS RRB 2026 (CRP RRBs-XV), the photo must be a JPG between 20KB and 50KB at 200x230 px and the signature a JPG between 10KB and 20KB at 140x60 px. Both the Officer (Scale I, II and III) and Office Assistant application forms use the same sizes for the photo, signature, left thumb impression and handwritten declaration.

IBPS RRB 2026 upload sizes

These figures come from the Annexure on "Guidelines for Scanning and Upload of Documents" in the CRP RRBs-XV notification, covering recruitment to Regional Rural Banks for Group A Officers and Group B Office Assistants (Multipurpose). Online registration ran from 01.09.2026 to 21.09.2026 as per the notification; check ibps.in for any extension notice.

Step by step: getting every document ready

1. Take a recent passport style colour photo against a light, preferably white, background, with no cap or dark glasses.
2. Sign on white paper with a black ink pen, in your normal running signature, not in capital letters.
3. Put your left thumb impression on white paper with black or blue ink, pressing evenly so the ridges are clear.
4. Handwrite the declaration in English with black ink, in normal, not capital, letters. See the exact wording and a full walkthrough in the handwritten declaration guide for IBPS and SBI forms.
5. Scan or photograph each document separately in good, even light, and save your 10th certificate as an A4 PDF under 500KB.
6. Resize each image with the IBPS resizer to the sizes in the table above.
7. Upload each file to the correct field, then capture the live photo by webcam or through the QR code on your phone.

Two posts, one notification: Officers vs Office Assistants

The CRP RRBs-XV notification covers both Group A Officers (Scale I, II and III) and Group B Office Assistants (Multipurpose) in one document, and the document upload sizes are identical for both. What differs is the selection process: Officer Scale II and III have a single-level exam and interview, Officer Scale I has Preliminary, Main and interview stages, and Office Assistant has Preliminary and Main only, with no interview.

If you have already checked the same sizes for IBPS PO or Clerk, note that the RRB numbers match those too, since IBPS uses one standard specification across most of its own recruitment processes. See IBPS PO photo and signature size and IBPS Clerk photo and signature size for how those two differ in timeline and stages.

Live photo capture on the RRB portal

Along with the uploaded photo, the RRB application also asks you to capture a live photo through your webcam or, if you are using a phone, by scanning a QR code that opens the camera on your device. Do it against a light, preferably white background in good light, looking straight at the camera, without a cap, sunglasses or a mask.

Common portal errors and what they usually mean

• The form will not move to the next step: the system will not let you proceed until the photo and signature meet the specifications. Check the KB range first, then the format.
• File too small: the lower limits matter too. A signature under 10KB or a photo under 20KB can be rejected, so do not over-compress.
• Unsupported file format: images must be JPG or JPEG and certificates must be PDF. Re-export rather than renaming the file extension.
• Live photo capture fails: allow camera access in the browser, or use the QR code option to take it on your phone instead.

Common mistakes

• Signing or writing the declaration in capital letters, which the notification rules out.
• Using blue ink for the signature. Black ink is required for the signature and declaration; only the thumb impression may be black or blue.
• Compressing the signature below 10KB, which is the lower limit, not just an upper cap.
• Mixing up the files at upload, especially the signature and the declaration.
• Applying to both the Officer and Office Assistant post assuming the same registration covers both; each needs its own separate application.
