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]
