What to bring
Papers to bring
- Your Aadhaar card and voter card (photocopies; the originals to show)
- Proof of the years lived in the state: ration card, electricity bills, property papers, or school records of study there
- For a child: the birth certificate and school certificates, and the parent's proof of domicile
- In Haryana, the Family ID (Parivar Pehchan Patra) number
- Two recent passport-size photographs
Where to go
Sworn before an Oath Commissioner or Notary, or made as a self-declaration where accepted, then filed with the application at a Saral Kendra or the Saral portal (Haryana), a Sampark centre (Chandigarh), or the service centre of the state concerned. The revenue officer, usually the Tehsildar or SDM, issues the certificate after a report.
Fee
The service centre's fee, the e-Stamp paper and the Oath Commissioner's or Notary's fee are paid at the counter; ask there for today's amounts.
Good to know
- The years of residence needed depend on the purpose and the state; check the notice or prospectus before applying.
- Do not apply if you already hold a domicile or residence certificate of another state: the affidavit says you do not.
- For a Punjab residence certificate, use the app's affidavit made for it.
Papers and fees can change. Check with the office before you go. Guidance only, not yet reviewed by a lawyer.
Stamp paper
Punjab: affidavits are usually typed on e-stamp paper (buy it at an authorised e-stamp centre; check the current duty there) and sworn before an Oath Commissioner or Notary. Many state services now accept a self-declaration instead.
Haryana: use e-stamp paper (egrashry / authorised vendors; check the current duty) and swear before an Oath Commissioner or Notary.
Chandigarh: e-stamp paper from an authorised centre (check the current duty); sworn before an Oath Commissioner or Notary.
