Not at all, a person can be a permanent resident of one place only, at one time, if he was a resident of haryana from last about 50 years how he can claim now the Domicile of Raj. at once, on the basis of domicile certificate of 1969. Legally he is not entitled.

A Domicile/Residence Certificate is generally issued to prove that the person bearing the Certificate is a Domicile/Resident of the State/UT by which the Certificate is being issued. This Certificate is required as proof of residence to avail Domicile/Resident Quotas in educational institutions and in the Government Service, as also in case of jobs where local residents are preferred.
Domicile Certificate can be made only in one State/UT. Obtaining Domicile Certificate from more than one State/UT is an offence.
