When applying for the Civil Service Exam, one of the requirements where some applicants even failed is to submit the correct passport size ID picture that adheres to the guidelines set by the Civil Service Commission (CSC).
Follow these criteria to ensure your application is approved:
(4) pieces of identical I.D. pictures
- taken within the last three (3) months prior to filing of application
- Passport size (4.5 cm x 3.5 cm)
- Printed on quality photo paper;
- In white background;
- In standard close-up shot (from shoulder level up with the head and face occupying at least 80% of the picture and with the name tag positioned at approximately 1” below the chin);
- In bare face (without eye glasses/colored contact lens, or any accessory that may cover facial features; facial features not computer-enhanced);
- Showing left and right ears; and
- With full name tag:
- The name tag must legibly show the applicant’s signature over complete printed name in the format First Name-Middle Initial-Last Name-Extension Name (if any); and
- The name tag should not be computerized, meaning, the applicant should have his/her picture taken while holding his/her written name tag.
