What's the maximum file size I can upload for my passport copy during IELTS registration?
The maximum file size allowed for your passport copy during IELTS registration is 1 MB. You can upload it in JPG, JPEG, PNG or PDF format, and it must be a clear, readable colour scan of the required passport pages to pass verification.
When you register for IELTS, your passport copy upload must stay within 1 MB in size. Keep the scan clear and in colour so it passes verification without delay.
Passport Upload Requirements
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Maximum file size | 1 MB |
| Accepted formats | JPG, JPEG, PNG or PDF |
| Document quality | Clear, readable colour scan |
Avoiding Upload Problems
A blurry or oversized scan is one of the most common reasons IELTS applications get stuck during verification. Compress your file if needed before uploading, and double check that all the required passport pages are visible and legible.
My Advice
Scan your passport in good lighting and check the file size before you start filling the rest of the form, so a last minute upload issue does not cost you your preferred test date. Keep a backup copy in a second format just in case.
