When applying for a PAN card for a minor (below 18 years of age) through NSDL (Protean) or UTIITSL, special rules apply. The application requires the Minor applicant's photograph, the Guardian's/Parent's signature (since minors cannot sign), and supporting proof documents for identity, address, and date of birth. The Minor PAN Card Photo Tool helps format all required files precisely according to portal standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Whose signature should be uploaded in a minor PAN card application?
Since the applicant is a minor, the parent or legal guardian's signature must be scanned and uploaded in the signature field. The minor does not sign.
What documents are required as proof of address for a minor?
The address proof of the representative/guardian (such as Aadhaar card, Passport, or Voter ID of the parent) is generally submitted along with the minor's DOB proof.
How do I compress the guardian address proof PDF under 300KB?
Select the Supporting Doc tab in this tool, upload your PDF or image proof, and the compressor will automatically scale it below 300 KB.
