Domicile certificate

Dear Client, as per your query, For a domicile certificate in West Bengal, “permanent residence” is not enough. You also need a “valid purpose,” such as an admission notice for educational seats under the state quota for NEET or WBJEE exams, a government employment notification requiring residency in the state, or an application for various government schemes and scholarships. If there are no “immediate requirements,” the “valid purpose” for applying for a domicile certificate is a notarized affidavit stating the requirement for the certificate is for “future administrative purposes” or “for legal documentation.” This affidavit must be accompanied by proof of residential stay for the past 15 years in the form of land deeds (Parcha), old rental receipts, and voter IDs. This may be done either personally at the SDO office or through the West Bengal government’s e-District portal. I hope this answer is helpful. In case of further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank You.

Dear Sir,

Give this purpose :

“Required as official proof of permanent residence for legal and administrative purposes including bank KYC, property matters, and government records.”    This is accepted in almost all SDO offices
