Step by step: getting every document ready
- Take a recent passport style colour photo against a light background, with no cap or dark glasses.
- Sign on white paper with a black ink pen, in your normal running signature, not in capital letters.
- Put your left-hand thumb impression on white paper with black or blue ink.
- Handwrite the declaration in English with black ink, in normal letters. See the handwritten declaration for IBPS and SBI forms for SBI's exact wording.
- Scan or photograph each document separately in good, even light.
- Resize each image with the SBI resizer to the sizes in the table above.
- Upload each file, then capture the live photo by webcam or through the phone QR code option.
Why the Clerk process also needs your local language
SBI Clerk recruitment is done state or UT wise, and candidates must be proficient (reading, writing, speaking and understanding) in the specified local language of the state they apply for. A Local Language Proficiency Test (LLPT) is conducted for candidates who cannot produce a 10th or 12th standard mark sheet or certificate showing they studied that language, and it happens after the Main exam but before joining. Keep that mark sheet safe and readable, since it is what exempts you from the test.
Failing the LLPT, when required, means you will not be offered appointment even if you clear the exam stages. Check your specific vacancy table's local language requirement carefully before applying.
Common portal errors and what they usually mean
- Registration will not complete: SBI's notification states registration will not be accepted unless the photo, signature, thumb impression and declaration all meet the specified format and size.
- Unclear image warning: a blurry or unclear upload for any of these four documents can lead to rejection, so re-upload rather than risk it.
- Wrong format: only JPG or JPEG files are accepted for these uploads.
Applying for SBI PO too?
SBI PO uses the identical photo, signature, thumb impression and declaration sizes, but has a different advertisement number, vacancy count and selection process, including an interview stage that Clerk recruitment does not have. See SBI PO photo and signature size for that comparison, and IBPS Clerk photo and signature size if you are applying to IBPS as well.
Live photo capture during registration
Along with the photo you upload as a file, SBI's application also captures a live photo, either through your webcam or by scanning a QR code that opens your phone's camera. The notification also warns that if the signature on your attendance sheet or call letter at the exam does not match the one you uploaded, you will be disqualified, so sign the same way every time.
Timeline for this recruitment cycle
Registration for the 2026 cycle closed on 31.08.2026, and the notification schedules the Preliminary exam for September 2026 and the Main exam for November 2026, so watch the SBI careers page for call letters. If you are planning ahead for the next Junior Associate notification, use these sizes as a guide but confirm them in the new advertisement, since SBI can change them.
Common mistakes
- Writing the declaration in a regional language because the recruitment involves a local language test; it must be in English.
- Signing or writing the declaration in capital letters.
- Losing track of your 10th or 12th mark sheet, which is the proof that exempts you from the local language test.
- Compressing the signature below 10KB, the lower limit.
- Assuming SBI Clerk and SBI PO share one application; each recruitment needs its own separate registration.
