How to apply for DIN for an NRI?

Hi all,

One of our client company has 3 directors. One of the directors is settled in USA since 1984, and doing business (before he was an Indian Citizen)
In India, The Company was incorporated in 2003, and we need to add the above director with USA address.
He has given his “Passport” [USA] and “Department of Public Safe” as proofs. Passport shows only Name, Surname and Date of Birth, Valid date of passport but No Address. He tells that there is no address printed in passport in USA.
 So he has given “Department of Public Safe” as address proof.
My Query;
In DIN application we require Applicant First name & Last name. He has it in the passport. BUT, his father’s name has Single Name (like Kumar) and does not have surname [first & last name]. If in India we prepare Affidavit in Stamp paper and get it notarized send along with DIN application.
 He don’t have any proof in India, like Indian Passport, PAN card, DL, Voters ID…  If he had any Indian proof we could get notary from India. But he has only USA proofs and notary we can get only in “USA”.
 Client says : He can get notary from USA in his “passport” and “Department of Public Safe” but there is no way to get Affidavit for his grand father’s name in USA. {In USA generally don’t put father’s & grand father’s name}.
 The client has one proof in India – His house document which was written in 1920’s (I think it’s not worth)
 How to get DIN for him?
 Note : His age above 60years [1948]

 Refer following point no 7 of DIN Application guidelines;

 

 

 

 
 Process for applicants who are (i) Indian citizens residing abroad; (ii) foreign nationals residing in India; and (iii) foreign nationals residing outside India 
 The certification of attached documents and the photograph may be done by a notary in the home country of the applicant or the Managing Director/ CEO of the Company on which he is a Director or the Company Secretary in full time employment of the Company. Further, in the case of a Foreign National, certified copy of the valid passport should be enclosed. You may also contact DIN cell - at this no 95120 -6522478.
