Which Taluk should Heirship Certificate be obtained from?

My father passed away on 26/11/2015. It was a car accident. To complete some formalities, I need to procure Legal Heirship certificate. We currently live in a rented house.Therefore that address is recorded as the address at the time of death in the death certificate. But our permanent address comes under another Taluk. Therefore i went to that Thaluk office and submited an application for the same. I got the necessary signature and was directed to our Village office. But there an official said that he can't proceed with my application because address at the time of death is different. He said i will have to apply for the same at the Taluk office that my temporary address comes under. Is this correct ? We have lived here for only 4 months. I am from Kerala
