SBI PO and Clerk 2026: photo, signature, thumb impression and declaration
SBI PO 2026 and SBI Clerk (Junior Associates) 2026 ask for the same four uploads as IBPS: photo 200 × 230 px, signature 140 × 60 px, left thumb impression 240 × 240 px and a handwritten declaration 800 × 400 px. A live photo is also captured during the form.
The declaration wording is different from IBPS: SBI’s includes your date of birth and a line saying the signature, photograph and thumb impression are yours. The PO and Clerk advertisements also word it slightly differently, so copy the one for your exam.

Tips for SBI PO, Clerk
- Print about 8 copies of the same photo you upload; SBI asks you to keep them for later stages.
- Copy the declaration for your exam (PO or Clerk) exactly, by hand, in English and in running handwriting.
- Use the same signature style everywhere; it must match what you sign at the exam.
Declaration text to copy by hand
Write it in English, in your own running handwriting, with black ink on white paper — not in capital letters. Then use the signature tool’s Declaration tab.
