Common Application Mistakes

  • File size too large:

    If your photo is 2MB but the portal requires max 50KB, it will not upload. You must compress it.

  • Blurry after compression:

    Using cheap compression tools can pixelate your signature, leading to application rejection.

  • Wrong file extension:

    Submitting a .png when only .jpg is allowed will result in an upload error.
