Domicile / Residence Certificate
Prove your state of residence for education, jobs and quota eligibility. A domicile / residence certificate proves you belong to a state for local quotas in admissions and jobs and for various benefits. Weak or mismatched residence proof gets it rejected. NOS assembles the right evidence and obtains the certificate.
Understand the service
What we can help with
These certificates are issued by the Revenue Department (Tahsildar / MRO) — in Telangana through MeeSeva, in Andhra Pradesh through the Grama / Ward Sachivalayam network — as a digitally-signed, QR-verifiable e-certificate. A clean, first-time residence certificate with the residence requirement met and documents in hand is straightforward and fixed-price. Others take more work: a short or discontinuous residence, a nativity certificate needing ancestral records, a correction, or migration from another district or state. Prior rejections, local-candidate (371D) questions and court matters are handled by an expert — and if the residence requirement genuinely isn't met, we'll tell you honestly.
How it works on the ground
The government process is scattered across portals, offices and paperwork. NOS turns it into one guided flow.
The reality on the ground
What you face today in TG & AP
Issued by the Tahsildar / MRO; residence-duration rules differ by state and purpose.
Requires consistent address proof across Aadhaar, ration card and school / registration records.
Purpose-specific formats (education vs employment) can differ.
Local application and collection are a barrier for out-of-state and NRI families.

What we handle
How it works
- 01Step 1
Tell us your purpose
A short questionnaire — what it's for, where you live and for how long. We map it to the correct artefact. A clean, first-time residence certificate with the residence requirement met is quick and fixed-price.
- 02Step 2
Case Manager assigned
A dedicated Case Manager is assigned and you can message them before you pay. Migration, nativity or dispute cases get a clear plan and price first.
- 03Step 3
We handle the offices
We prepare and validate your documents and file with the Tahsildar / MRO — via MeeSeva in Telangana or the Grama / Ward Sachivalayam in Andhra Pradesh — and manage the field verification, acting through a PoA for NRIs.
- 04Step 4
Certificate delivered
DeliveredYou receive the digitally-signed, QR-verifiable e-certificate in your dashboard — and, where you need it, couriered as a physical copy.
What you'll typically need
- Which certificate you need, and what it's for
- How long you've lived at the current address (and any moves)
- Proof of identity, address and date of birth — plus family / ancestral records for a nativity certificate
- Whether you're an NRI, or the family migrated from another district / state
Don't have everything to hand? That's alright. Share what you can — your Case Manager will tell you exactly what's needed and, where records are old or a proof is missing, help you obtain it.
Made for NRIs. No trips home. No local runaround. No language barrier. Manage the entire process from your phone, in your own timezone — while NOS handles the counters, the paperwork and the follow-ups.
