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

Background not pure white (fails PSK automated check)

Cause: Cream, beige, or grey walls trigger automatic rejection.

Fix: Use a clean white sheet or wall in bright lighting.

Issue 2

Teeth visible or smile breaking neutral expression standard

Cause: Passport rules require neutral expression with mouth closed.

Fix: Retake photo with neutral facial expression.

Issue 3

Thick glasses frames or reflections obscuring eye color

Cause: Spectacles reflecting flash.

Fix: Remove glasses for the passport photo.

Issue 4

Shadow behind ears or on one side of face

Cause: Single directional light source.

Fix: Use two light sources or face a large window directly.

Issue 5

Photo exceeding 200KB or below 10KB minimum upload limit

Cause: Uncalibrated compression.

Fix: ToolKB sets target to 85KB, right in the optimal zone.

Issue 6

Head tilted or uneven shoulders

Cause: Casual posture.

Fix: Sit upright looking straight at camera lens.
