Every year, thousands of job applications for SSC, State Police, and Railway exams are rejected due to outdated photographs or missing Date of Photo (DOP) stamps.

Official notifications strictly mandate that the photograph must not be older than 3 months from the date of the notification and must feature the candidate's name and DOP prominently across the bottom margin.

Use our free Passport Photo Maker to add instant DOP banners and generate 4x6 print sheets calibrated for 300 DPI.
