About the Civil service exam photo
The application system caps the file at 100KB — go over and the upload fails. Background rules differ by province; blue and white are the most common.
Photo requirements
Ears and eyebrows visible; no coloured contacts, thick frames or hats; hair off the forehead and ears
Common review practice — the official rules in force always take precedence
Common questions
- Why does my Civil service exam photo keep getting rejected?
- Usually one of three things: wrong pixel size, a file size outside the accepted range, or the head too small in the frame. Measure the result before submitting — cheaper than a rejection.
- Can I take it myself?
- Yes. Face the camera, even lighting, plain background, shoulders in frame and a little space above the head. The rear camera is sharper than the front one.
- Will compressing to the limit blur it?
- A little detail is lost, but at ID-photo dimensions the result still passes review. The tool starts at high quality and steps down to the first value within range.
