How to get Domicile Certificate in Delhi?

A domicile certificate is an official statement provided to the citizen by the state government confirming the residence of the applicant. A Domicile/Residence Certificate is generally issued to prove that the person bearing the Certificate is a Domicile/Resident of the State/UT by which the Certificate is being issued. 

Domicile Certificate can be made only in one State/UT. Obtaining Domicile Certificate from more than one State/UT is an offence.

This Certificate is required as proof of residence to avail Domicile/Resident Quotas in educational institutions and the Government Service, as also in case of jobs where residents are preferred.

Several educational institutions reserve seats depending on the domicile status of the applicant. Similarly, benefits are also available in some cases of recruitment giving preference to local candidates. This certificate is required to avail of such benefits. Institutions giving loans as proof of place of residence may also require this certificate. Some organizations/institutions have different modalities e.g. different fee structures for NRIs (Non-Resident Indians) and require this certificate for checking purposes.
