Andhra Pradesh residents can apply for an income certificate, caste certificate, or integrated certificate through the MeeSeva portal at ap.meeseva.gov.in or by visiting the nearest Village/Ward Sachivalayam. After login, choose the required Revenue Department service, fill in the form, upload documents, pay the service fee, and save the application or transaction number. Once approved, the certificate can be downloaded online or printed through a MeeSeva centre.
Which portal should you use?
For most citizens in Andhra Pradesh, the commonly used portal for income, caste, and integrated certificate services is ap.meeseva.gov.in. You can also apply offline through a MeeSeva centre or your local Village/Ward Sachivalayam if you are not comfortable applying online.
Before entering personal details, always check the website address carefully in your browser. Government certificate applications require Aadhaar, address, caste, income, or family details, so avoid unofficial websites or agents who ask for unnecessary extra charges.

What is an income certificate?
An income certificate shows the annual income of a person or family. It is commonly required for scholarships, fee reimbursement, welfare schemes, reservation-related benefits, and other government services where income eligibility must be verified.
What is a caste certificate?
A caste certificate confirms whether a person belongs to a recognised SC, ST, BC, or other eligible community category. It is usually required for education admissions, government jobs, reservation benefits, scholarships, and official verification.
What is an integrated certificate?
An integrated certificate combines important details such as caste, date of birth, and nativity in one certificate. Students often prefer this certificate because it is widely used for scholarships, admissions, and reservation-related verification.
Documents required
- Aadhaar card
- Ration card or address proof
- Income proof or declaration, if applying for an income certificate
- Parent or family caste proof, if applying for caste or integrated certificate
- Passport-size photograph
- School or study certificate, if required for nativity proof
The exact documents may change based on your certificate type, category, and district. If you are unsure, confirm with the MeeSeva operator or Village/Ward Sachivalayam before submitting the application.
Certificate fee
The service fee is usually a small amount and may vary depending on the service and centre. For many certificate services, applicants commonly pay around ₹35, but it is better to confirm the current fee on the portal or at the MeeSeva/Sachivalayam counter before applying.
How to check application status
- Open ap.meeseva.gov.in.
- Choose the application status or transaction status option.

If the application is still pending, wait for the local verification process to finish. For caste and integrated certificates, a field enquiry or document verification may be required before approval.
How to download the certificate

In many cases, certificates are issued within 5–7 working days, but the time can vary if local enquiry, document correction, or officer approval is pending.
