Frequently Asked Questions

How many years of residency do I need for a domicile certificate?
This varies by state — commonly anywhere from 3 to 15 years of continuous residency. Your operator will confirm the exact requirement for your state.
What proof shows my years of residency?
School/college leaving certificates, old address-linked documents (like an older Voter ID), or property records showing a documented address history all help establish continuous residency.
Is this the same as an address proof?
No — a simple address proof shows where you live now; a Domicile Certificate is an official state government document certifying long-term residency, needed specifically for state-quota admissions and jobs.
