I just noticed that the "Place of birth" on my passport is "X, Y"

X = City
Y= State

In the post-ITA application, should I fill up the "City/town of birth" field in the exactly the same way as above or just X?

Somehow, entering X, Y seems incorrect - but the paragraph at the beginning of this form section does say "Tell us your personal details exactly as shown in your passport"

Should I type X, Y?

They are just asking for the city, so just put X.

This is an Indian passport.

Also, two differing opinions above o_O

I'm leaning towards entering X,Y to be on the safe side. Anyone else wants to weigh in?

Im giving it as X,Y same as what is mentioned in the passport.
I used just the city and not state without any issues. "exactly as shown in your passport" - can be concluded as the city same in passport and not the way it is mentioned in passport ( personal opinion)

Ok I'm sold - going to enter only X.

Thanks for the help :)
