Every Director of a Company has to apply for a Director Identification Number (DIN). The DIN Form is available on MyMCA portal. The form has to be filled online and submitted for DIN allocation. In the form all items marked with(*) are to be filled in compulsorily. After filling the form a button 'Check Form' should be pressed to verify the details filled in case certain details are to be modified then 'Modify' button is to be pressed and the modifications can be carried out. Later on after verifying that all the details filled are correct, press 'Submit' button.

After processing, system will give a success or failure message. On completion of successful processing provisional DIN will be allocated on-line and displayed in the Form.

The MCA21 system processes the request and responds with a provisional DIN number in a PDF letter form.

Then save and print the Form after prompting of successful submission and a provisional DIN is allotted on-line.

A copy of the printed DIN Form along with various proof(s) duly attested by authorities are to be sent to central processing desk address written on the Form. The attestation of the proof of identification and address can be done by Notary Gazetted Officer, certified professional viz., Chartered Accountant/Company Secretary/Cost Accountant with stamp and registration number.

After processing, the status of the application will be advised through Post and also through e-mail.
