| Image | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Photo | Check-in photo or at-home camera/ID verification. |
| Signature | No scanned-signature upload specification was verified in this guidance. |
A test-centre photo is taken at check-in. At-home testing uses a camera and ID-verification workflow. Public ETS guidance reviewed here does not provide a pre-uploaded portrait or scanned-signature size preset. Follow your testing mode’s ID instructions.

Prepare and check your upload
This page does not offer an automatic preset because current numeric upload limits have not been verified, or the provider captures the photo itself. Follow the linked official process. If your application displays file limits, choose Custom and enter those values.
The checker verifies output pixels and file size. It does not verify identity, photo age, background, face coverage, ink colour, required captions or acceptance by the application. Keep the original and follow any updated notice for your cycle.
