pakistani.siIndependent general guidance, not a government service or an application portal. Requirements vary by location and circumstances. Confirm current eligibility, documents, fees, processing times and the correct office on the official government website before applying. Never send identity documents, CNIC numbers, passwords or OTPs to this site.
Steps to get started
- Check the official district administration or provincial service website for the place connected to your application. Confirm which authority handles your case.
- Read the local eligibility rules and current checklist. Identity, birth or education records and residence evidence may be requested; ask which forms of evidence are accepted.
- If you already have a domicile record elsewhere, ask about the correct transfer, cancellation or other procedure before applying again. Do not hide an existing record.
- Submit through the official channel, keep the receipt and check the certificate carefully when issued. Ask the issuing authority how to correct errors.

Frequently asked questions
Is a domicile certificate the same as my CNIC?
No. They are different records. Ask the organisation requesting the document exactly what it accepts.
Can I apply using a checklist from another district?
Use your own issuing authority’s current checklist. Local eligibility and supporting evidence can differ.
