What is Domicile Certificate? How to obtain Domicile Certificate in Pakistan

Dear viewers, In this video, we shall learn about the domicile certificate and how to obtain it. Procedures to Obtain a Certificate of Domicile According to the Pakistan Citizenship Rules, 1952, a certificate of domicile can be issued by the federal or a provincial government or any district magistrate authorized by a provincial government (Pakistan 1952, Sec. 23). The Pakistan Citizenship Rules state that An application for a certificate of domicile shall be made in Form P' in duplicate, shall be accompanied by an affidavit affirming the truth of the statement made in it and affirming further that the applicant had not migrated to India after the first day of March 1947 or that, having so migrated, and returned to Pakistan under a permit for resettlement or permanent return issued by an officer authorized by the Government of Pakistan. Sources indicate that when applying for a certificate of domicile, an applicant must provide the following information: his or her name; parent's name; address in Pakistan; former address outside of Pakistan; date of arrival at the place of domicile; marital status; name of spouse; names of children and their ages; trade or occupation; and identifying marks (ibid., App. VIII; ibid. n.d.). A certificate of domicile obtained from the website of the police in the city of Jhelum in Punjab Province indicates that the certificate includes the above information, as well as the individual's photograph placed in the lower right corner of the certificate (ibid.). In order to obtain a certificate of domicile, an individual must also provide the following documents: three photographs; birth certificate; property ownership documents; proof of occupation; copies of education certificates; copy of a National Identity Card (NIC), or a Form B' for applicants under 18 years of age; if an applicant is less than 21 years of age, a copy of the NIC and a certificate of domicile of the father/mother/guardian; utility bills, or a copy of a rental agreement; for married men/women, photocopies of the spouse's NIC, spouse's certificate of domicile and copies of children's birth certificates or their forms B' (The Express Tribune 26 Apr. 2012). An academic at McGill University who specializes in Islamic law and the history of Pakistan (5 Dec. 2012), and a representative of the Evangelical Asian Church Toronto, which serves Pakistani and Indian Christians by promoting religious freedom, human rights and assisting immigrants, refugees, youth and "persecuted" communities (Evangelical Asian Church Toronto n.d.), both corroborated the above information (ibid. 14 Dec. 2012; Academic 21 Dec. 2012). Corroborating information from Pakistan government sources on the required documents could not be found by the Research Directorate within the time constraints of this Response. The academic noted that sometimes individuals are also required to submit a police report (ibid.). An individual must submit additional documents in some circumstances (The Express Tribune 26 Apr. 2012). For example, a government employee must submit a certificate confirming that he or she works for the government, and an applicant who migrated to Pakistan from India before 14 April 1951 must submit his or her proof of residence (ibid.). The fee for processing is 200 Pakistani rupees (PKR) [about C$2.00 (XE 20 Dec. 2012)], which is to be paid at the National Bank of Pakistan (The Express Tribune 26 Apr. 2012). The processing time is one to three weeks (Academic 21 Dec. 2012). Corroborating information from Pakistan government sources on the fees and processing time could not be found by the Research Directorate within the time constraints of this Response. The Pakistan Citizenship Rules of 1952 state that, in order to replace a domicile certificate, obtain a copy of a certificate or change one's name on a certificate, an individual must submit an application to the government authority that issued the previous certificate (Pakistan 1952, Sec. 28-B). An applicant must submit an application form "V" and four passport-size photographs (ibid.). The form "V" contains the following information: full name and the address of the applicant; father's name; government authority that issued the previous certificate; number of original certificate and date of issue; reason for replacement; applicant's signature; place and date of signature (ibid., App. XVII). Further information on the replacement of a certificate of domicile could not be found among the sources consulted by the Research Directorate.
