## Common rejection reasons

- File too large — The Sarathi PhotoSign guide asks for 10-20 KB and states the scanned image must not exceed 20 KB. Larger uploads return an error instead of registering

- Wrong photo size — Must be 35×45mm portrait (420×525 px preferred, and the stated minimum)

- Non-white background — Plain light/white background only; reflections and shadows cause rejection

- Face not clearly visible — Front-facing pose, both eyes open, no dark glasses, no caps (religious headwear is permitted if the face remains fully visible)

- Head size incorrect — Face must occupy roughly 75% of photo height

- Photo too old — Recent photo required for driving license applications
