A Residence Certificate for urban areas is an official document issued by the Municipal Council, Revenue Department, or Tehsil Office to confirm a person’s permanent residence in a specific city or town. It is required for government jobs, educational admissions, domicile-based reservations, and welfare schemes.
To obtain a Residence Certificate, applicants must provide proof of residence (utility bills, rental agreement, voter ID, or Aadhaar), identity proof, and an affidavit. Applications can be submitted online via the state’s e-district portal or at municipal offices, CSC centers, or revenue offices. The processing time typically ranges from 7 to 15 days.
This certificate is essential for establishing legal residency, accessing local benefits, and ensuring eligibility for various government programs in urban areas.
