Frequently Asked Questions
When applying for a Director Identification Number (DIN) - required to become a director of an Indian company - if your identity proof (PAN, Aadhaar, passport, etc.) shows only a single name with no surname, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs commonly requires an affidavit declaring that this single name is complete and correctly represents your full legal name.
Typically alongside Form DIR-3 (DIN application) or SPICe+ (for a new company's proposed directors), as a supporting document when the applicant's identity proof shows a single name. Confirm the current filing requirement on the MCA portal, since e-filing requirements are updated from time to time.
Many directors have their CA/CS handle the full DIN/incorporation filing as part of a larger engagement, and this affidavit is one small piece of that paperwork - if you already have a CA/CS managing your filing, share this with them rather than filing it separately. If you're filing independently, use this as a starting reference and verify current MCA requirements yourself.
The underlying declaration (that your single name is complete, with no concealed surname) is conceptually similar, but the authority, form, and exact wording expected differ - the MCA's DIN process and Passport Seva are separate systems with their own requirements. If you need one for a passport application, see our separate Passport Single Name Affidavit format instead.
