I've heard that if any information does not match exactly how your passport appears, you could run into trouble.

I have a US passport and I'm filling out the initial information for the DTV, and I'm already running into problems.

The application on the official website is requesting 'Place of Birth' and 'City of Birth'

Place of Birth is giving me a dropdown menu with a list of countries (so in my case United States)

Unfortunately, on my US passport, it lists a state for my place of birth (in this case, Indiana), and does not list the city in which I was born. So on the website it's asking for the city where I was born, but that's not listed on my passport at all. Should I write 'Indiana' for the 'City of Birth' or should I write the name of the actual city?

Similarly, my US passport does not list a place of issuance, just 'issued by the US Department of State'; I believe it was issued in LA, California where I currently reside.

Has any US DTV applicants ran into any trouble in this regard? I've also heard the Chicago and Washington DC Thai consulates are a good place to apply from, but as I am in California at the moment I think I am stuck with the LA consulate; hopefully that won't be a problem?

Question about place of birth when putting the biodata, my place of birth in passport has 2 cities, reads like this city1*city2 to avoid giving personal data here, for example, London*Greenwich thats how it reads on the passport but i cannot put a * in the form. so what do i put?

As a us citizen will it be ok to have put my birth city, and not the state? The city is not showed on the passport just the place of birth being a us state. Applyied from USA? Been a week
