National ID number mismatch in passport form: safe fix guide
A practical guide for handling National ID number mismatch while filling or correcting a passport form in Nepal.
Independent guide, not an official website
Nepal Docs Guide is not affiliated with the Government of Nepal. This guide helps you prepare, but official portals and offices control final rules, fees, forms, and timelines.
Quick answer
If your National ID number does not match in a passport form, stop before final submission, compare citizenship and NID details, check the passport portal instructions, and ask the responsible office which record must be corrected.
Eligibility
- Passport applicants using National ID details
- Applicants seeing mismatch or validation error in passport form
Required documents checklist
- □ Citizenship certificate

- □ Any portal error screenshot
Step-by-step process
- Compare citizenship, NID, and passport draft details.
- Check for typing errors in numbers and dates.
- Do not submit the form if key identity details are wrong.
- Ask the passport office or National ID office which record needs correction.
- Submit only after the correct detail is clear.
Fees and timelines

What this guide helps you do
