SYSTEM.TROUBLESHOOTING

Why is the portal rejecting my upload?

Most application rejections are caused by hidden dimension or background mismatches rather than KB limits alone.

Issue 1

GOAPS portal rejects image: 'Aspect ratio must be 3:4'

Cause: Uploading a square photo or standard 3.5:4.5 passport photo instead of exact 3:4 proportion.

Fix: Use ToolKB's GATE Photo preset which locks dimensions to exactly 480 × 640 pixels.

Issue 2

Signature rejected: 'Aspect ratio must be 3.5:1'

Cause: Signature image is too tall or too narrow for GOAPS validation.

Fix: Use ToolKB's GATE Signature preset which normalizes the image to 560 × 160 pixels.

Issue 3

Photo rejected for patterned background

Cause: GATE guidelines require a plain white or very light background.

Fix: Retake photo against a white wall.

Issue 4

Face area outside 60-70% zone

Cause: Face is too small (full body) or too zoomed in.

Fix: Position head so face occupies roughly two-thirds of the 640px height.

Issue 5

Stylized glyphs or digital signature rejected

Cause: GOAPS scrutiny team rejects digital font-generated signatures.

Fix: Sign naturally on paper with pen and scan.

Issue 6

Low DPI blurry crop failing automated review

Cause: Zooming in on low-res screenshot.

Fix: Take a sharp well-lit photo of your physical signature.
