PAN application documentation: identity, address and date of birth proofs required and specified photograph standards apply. Applicants for a Permanent Account Number must submit documentary evidence of Proof of Identity, Proof of Address and Proof of Date of Birth, with the name on the application matching the name on supporting documents. The application form specifies acceptable documents and presentation standards; applicants must affix two recent colour photographs with a white background in the spaces provided, and photographs must not be stapled or clipped. Compliance with the form's documentary checklist and photographic requirements determines acceptability.
