Why does my government PDF show a yellow question mark?

Indian government PDFs are digitally signed using certificates from NIC, eMudhra, or other CCA India licensed authorities. Adobe Acrobat and most PDF viewers don't include India's Root Certifying Authority (RCAI) in their default trusted certificate store. So even though the signature is completely valid and legally recognised under the Information Technology Act 2000, your PDF viewer shows a yellow question mark because it cannot automatically verify the issuer. Kagazo checks your PDF against the actual CCA India trust hierarchy and gives you a copy with a permanent green tick visible on any device.

Is my document safe? Do you store my PDF?

Your PDF is processed entirely in memory during verification. We never write your file to disk, never store it on our servers, and never share it with any third party. The file is deleted from memory immediately after verification is complete. You can also verify this by checking our open source backend code.

Which documents does Kagazo support?

Kagazo supports any PDF digitally signed under India's CCA certificate hierarchy. This includes e-Aadhaar, PAN card, DigiLocker documents, ITR-V, Form 16, and all state government certificates from Tamil Nadu e-District, AP and Telangana MeeSeva, Karnataka Nadakacheri and eJanma, Kerala Sevana portal, and more.

My Aadhaar PDF is password protected. Will it work?

Yes. Enter your Aadhaar password (first four letters of your name in capital letters followed by your birth year, for example RAMA1995) in the password field that appears after you upload your e-Aadhaar PDF. We decrypt it in memory, verify the signature, and return a verified copy.

What is the difference between "Signature Valid" and "Signature Unknown"?

Signature Valid means the document is genuinely issued by the government authority and has not been modified. Signature Unknown means your PDF viewer cannot verify the certificate chain — this is a viewer configuration issue, not a problem with your document. Signature Invalid means the document may have been tampered with or re-saved after signing.

Does this work on mobile?

Yes. Kagazo is fully mobile responsive and works on any Android or iOS browser. No app installation required. Simply open kagazo.in on your phone browser, upload your PDF and verify instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about passport photos, print sheets, and portal rules.

01.What are the official photo requirements for Indian Passport (Passport Seva Kendra)?

For domestic Indian passport applications through Passport Seva Kendra (PSK) or Indian missions abroad, the photograph must measure 35 × 45 mm (width × height) at 300 DPI. The background must be pure plain white with zero shadows or borders, and the face must occupy 60% to 70% of the picture height (chin to crown).

02.How does printing a 4×6" photo sheet save money at local studios or photo labs?

Photo studios and cyber cafes typically charge ₹80 to ₹150 for 8 passport photos. When you download Kagazo’s printable 4×6" sheet (tiling 8 identical 35×45 mm photos with scissor cutting lines), you can print it as a standard 4×6 photo print at any photo kiosk or digital studio for just ₹5 to ₹10, saving over 90% of the cost!

03.Can I add Candidate Name and Date of Photo (DOP) for exam portal uploads?

Yes! Many recruitment bodies (UPSC, SSC, State Police, Railway RRB) mandate that the applicant name and date the photo was taken (DOP) be printed on a clear white strip at the bottom of the photo. Simply toggle the "Add Name & Date Strip" option in the studio controls.

04.Can I create visa photos for the US, UK, Schengen, and Canada using this tool?

Yes. Kagazo includes a multi-country preset switcher. You can switch to US Visa / DS-160 (2×2 inch, 600×600 px), UK Passport (35×45 mm, light grey background), Schengen Visa (35×45 mm, 70-80% face ratio), Canadian Passport / PR (50×70 mm), Australia, or Singapore with 1 click.

05.Are my biometric photos uploaded or stored on your servers?

Never. Kagazo guarantees 100% In-Browser Sovereign Privacy. Every crop, aspect ratio recalculation, DPI header injection, and sheet generation executes entirely within your browser’s local volatile RAM memory. Zero bytes leave your device.
