How to Complete Own Scribe Registration for SSC CHTE 2026 Tier-I?
The biggest procedural change in this notice affects candidates who had opted for the Own Scribe facility. Scribe registrations completed earlier have been wiped, and the replacement process is tied to Aadhaar authentication.

- Scribe registration is now integrated with Aadhaar Authentication, and it is mandatory for every person willing to enrol or appear as a scribe to complete this fresh registration.
- The candidate must submit the scribe’s registration number so that the Scribe’s Entry Pass can be generated.
- The maximum permissible age of a person appearing as own scribe is governed by the Commission’s updated policy No. PP001/14/2024-PP (e-10280) dated 04 November 2025.
- Scribe OTR mapping closes on 06 September 2026 (11:00 P.M.) for CHTE 2026 Tier-I. The Scribe Entry Pass will be generated only for candidates who successfully map their Scribe OTR.
- All remaining scribe guidelines stay exactly as laid down in the CHTE 2026 examination notice.
