OCI Card Name & Date Stamp

Photo Stamping Rules

The OCI Card application process requires candidates to upload a recent passport-size photograph and signature following specific guidelines. Key aspects include: photo and signature size specifications. Candidates must carefully follow the official specifications to avoid application rejection. This guide covers the most commonly searched questions about OCI Card photo requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Should I add name and date to OCI Card photo?

A: For OCI Card, check the official notification to confirm if name/date is required. If you're unsure, the Name & Date Stamp Tool lets you add text that can be removed later. As a general rule, only add name and date if the notification explicitly requires it. Many exam portals do not require this and clean photos are preferred.

Q: How to use the Name & Date Stamp Tool for OCI Card?

A: Using the Name & Date Stamp Tool for OCI Card is simple: (1) Upload your photo; (2) Enter your full name as it appears in the application form; (3) Enter the date the photo was taken (format: DD-MM-YYYY); (4) Choose text position (bottom-left or bottom-center recommended); (5) Select font size that's legible but not overpowering; (6) Preview and download. The tool ensures the text is placed correctly without covering your face.

Q: What date format to use for OCI Card name/date stamp?

A: Use DD-MM-YYYY format (e.g., 14-05-2026) for the date on your OCI Card photo. The date must be the day the photo was taken, which should be within the allowed recency period (typically 3-6 months of application). The Name & Date Stamp Tool automatically formats the date correctly. Never use US format (MM-DD-YYYY) as it can cause confusion during document verification.

Q: Does OCI Card accept digitally added name/date or only handwritten?

A: For online applications, digitally adding name and date using the Name & Date Stamp Tool is generally acceptable for most exams. The tool adds clean, legible text that mimics the appearance of handwriting. However, for exams like UPSC that specifically mention handwriting, try to use a font that looks natural. The tool offers multiple font options including handwriting-style fonts. For physical applications, handwritten is required.

Q: Where should the name and date be placed on OCI Card photo?

A: The name and date should be placed at the BOTTOM of the photograph. The Name & Date Stamp Tool automatically positions text at the bottom edge so it doesn't interfere with your face. The text should occupy no more than 5-10% of the photo height. For exams like DSSSB that use a larger postcard-size photo, the tool adjusts the text size proportionally.

Exam Notes

Light cream/off-white bg (not pure white). 80% face.
