Recent Photograph
Use a recent passport-size color photograph that clearly matches your current appearance.

Your face should be clearly visible, properly centered and not blurred, dark or distorted.
Plain Background
Use a clean white or light-colored background. Avoid patterns, shadows and distracting objects.

Own Signature
Use your own handwritten signature. Avoid typed names, block letters or another person's signature.
Black Ink Preferred
Sign clearly on plain white paper using black ink for better visibility after scanning.
White Paper
The signature should be written on clean white paper without lines, stains, folds or marks.
