However, in respect of foreign nationals, applicant's name in DSC would be matched with his/ her name entered while filing the form (DIR-3 KYC). In case the PAN/ Name in DSC does not match with PAN/ Name entered in the form, they would be required to get a DSC with PAN/ Name as specified in the form.

what are the documents required for kyc of foreign director?
Attested & Apostille copy of address proof (e.g. License) and passport. These two documents + one photo for applying of Foreign Director's Digital Signatures. Once you have these documents and DSC in hand, you can do the filing.
Hi, I just wanted to check that if a Director has filed DIR3 KYC form before 15 Sep 2018. Is he required to repeat this filing on annual basis? If yes, would that mean, he has to do this filing for FY 18-19 before April 2019? Pls help as I am getting different advise from different people. Some are saying it's a one time activity and if it has been done in 2018, it need not be repeated in April 2019. On the other hand, others are telling that 15 Sep 2018 was to clear the old back-up and going forward this has to be repeated every FY before April end of next financial year.
