Hello,

Yes, This is required as proof that the applicant is a domicile/ resident of the state/ union territory (UT) by which the certificate is issued. To obtain a domicile certificate, you have to fill the prescribed application form (available online or from the local authorities) as specified in the state/ UT of your residence. Proof of continuous residence in the state/ UT for a specified minimum period, or that of holding land in the state/ UT (depending on the rules in the state/ UT concerned) needs to be produced. Certain additional documents such as proof of identity, school leaving certificate may be required to obtain a domicile certificate.

Thanku.
