Manipur Domicile / PRC Certificate: Apply Online, ePramaan Login & Eligibility Guide

Manipur's official eDistrict portal at eservicesmanipur.gov.in lists the residence proof certificate as "Domicile / PRC Certificate" - a combined name that reflects both what it is called in valley districts (Domicile Certificate) and hill districts (PRC - Permanent Residence Certificate). The service is completely free. Login is via ePramaan - the national authentication system. One uniquely Manipur-specific provision: the identity proof list includes a Certificate from MLA (Member of Legislative Assembly) or Certificate from MP (Member of Parliament) - an official certification of identity not found in other states. Similarly, a Certificate from the Gram Panchayat Pradhan is accepted as identity proof. For residential proof, a Land Deed or Documentary Evidence of Residential Land and a Residential Certificate issued by the SDO are the primary accepted documents. Certificates are available for download after ePramaan login from eservicesmanipur.gov.in/verify-certificate.

Certificate Names Used in Manipur

The official FAQ on eservicesmanipur.gov.in uses the heading "Domicile / PRC Certificate" - combining both names. In practice:

• In valley districts (Imphal East, Imphal West, Bishnupur, Thoubal): commonly called Domicile Certificate
• In hill districts (Churachandpur, Ukhrul, Chandel, Tamenglong, Senapati, Kangpokpi): also referred to as PRC (Permanent Residence Certificate)
• Both are the same certificate issued through the same portal and DC Office
• Application forms and service on eservicesmanipur.gov.in cover both valley and hill districts

Certificates from MLA and MP as Identity Proof - Unique to Manipur

The official documents list on eservicesmanipur.gov.in includes two identity proof options not found in any other state's domicile/residence certificate process:

• Certificate by Gram Panchayat Pradhan: A certificate from the elected Gram Panchayat head of your village certifying your identity and residence
• Certificate from MLA (Member of Legislative Assembly): A certificate from the MLA of your constituency certifying your identity
• Certificate from MP (Member of Parliament): A certificate from the MP of your parliamentary constituency certifying your identity

These options exist because Manipur's hill districts have communities where standard identity documents (Aadhaar, Voter ID) may not always be readily available. Elected representatives serve as community-level identity verifiers in such cases.

Application Fee

The Domicile/PRC Certificate service at eservicesmanipur.gov.in does not require any payment. This is the same free service structure as the income certificate in Manipur. At a CSC, a nominal operator service charge may apply, but the government fee is zero.
