DV day tips
- Carry originals and two sets of self-attested photocopies of everything.
- Names, father’s name and date of birth must match across documents — if not, carry a gazette notification or affidavit.
- Results must have been declared by the cut-off date in the notification; keep the result date proof if it was close.
- Carry the same photo ID you entered in the form and extra passport photos.
