No. Selfies or casual photos are not accepted. Use a formal, passport-style photograph with a clear face and neutral background.
Generally, KSET does not require printing Name/Date on the photo. However, strictly refer to the official notification for the current year to confirm requirements.
Ensure you sign on a clean white paper with a thick black or blue pen. Take a clear, bright photo of it directly from above (no angle). This tool will help crop and resize it, but the original clarity matters.
