Re: domicile certificates

In such circumstances, clerical staff as well as immediate higher authorities don't know the legal position, therefore they refuse on one or the other pretext to fetch money. Your strict reaction may compel them to honour your legal right. Same is in Pakistan, too. Where person reside more than three years or have educational certificates, he is entitled to get domicile from that place.

Re: domicile certificates

Yes, you should.

Probably, you asked this question before also?

You should approach the authorities with all your documents; and if they refuse even at the higher level, you may need to approach the court.
