MP Police Constable Driver photo, signature and age rules
No official size publishedAge 18 to 38 years
Quick answer
MPESB gives no pixel or KB size for the photo and signature in the Constable (Driver) 2026 form. The rule book asks for one JPG scan instead: your colour photo on top, your signature below it and two lines of your own handwriting, on the format the form lets you print. The photo needs a white background, can be no older than three months on the day you apply, and must show your name and the date it was taken. Only men can apply, from 15 to 29 October 2026, and you need a heavy vehicle driving licence.
What the MP Police Constable Driver form asks you to upload
| Item | Rule in the notice | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Photo, signature and handwriting (one scan) | A colour photo in the upper part and your signature in the lower part, with two lines of your own handwriting, on the format you print from the link in the form. Scan it and save it as a JPG. | p22, para 2.16(i); p24, para 2.20(iv) |
| Photo | Good quality, white background, front view with both ears showing. No Polaroid prints. Not older than three months on the day you apply, with the photo date and your name clearly on it. If you wear spectacles for reading, wear them in the photo; dark glasses are not accepted. Come to the exam with the same beard or clean-shaven look as in the photo as far as you can. Keep at least 5 prints, because the same photo is used at counselling and selection. | p22, para 2.16(i)-(vii) |
| Signature | Fully clear, in the set place below the photo. A short signature, a signature in English capital letters, or more than one signature is not accepted. You must sign the same way at the exam hall and at selection. | p22, para 2.16(viii) and (x) |
| Handwritten declaration | The set declaration, written out in your own hand and uploaded with the form. | p22, para 2.15(vi) |
| Documents | Your Class 8, 10 or 12 marksheet as proof of birth date, a caste certificate if you are SC/ST/OBC/EWS, and any certificate for an age relaxation or bonus marks, such as NCC. | p22, para 2.15(ii)-(v) |
What to do, step by step
- 1Check your heavy vehicle driving licence before anything else. The post needs one.
- 2Get a fresh colour photo on a white background, face and both ears in view, taken within three months of the day you fill the form, with your name and the photo date printed under it.
- 3Start the form on mponline.gov.in and print the blank photo, signature and handwriting format from the link it gives.
- 4Paste the photo in its box, sign below it in your usual running hand, and write the two lines of handwriting.
- 5Scan the filled sheet in colour and save it as a JPG. If the upload screen shows a size limit and your file is bigger, resize a copy to that limit in the custom mode of our resizer.
- 6Write the declaration by hand as the rule book asks, scan it, and keep it with your other files.

Tips and tricks for the MP Police Constable Driver upload
- 1Age is counted on 29 October 2026, the last day to apply.
- 2The three-month photo rule also counts back from the day you apply, so an old passport photo can fail even if it looks fine.
- 3Sign the way you sign everywhere else, because you sign again at the exam and capital-letter signatures are rejected.
- 4Scan the format flat, on a scanner or in daylight. The rule book rejects the form if the photo, signature or handwriting is missing or unclear, and a shadow across the signature can do that.
- 5You get the admit card with your application number only, so save the form copy and the number.
