EWS Certificate 2026: Complete Document List You Must Submit After Online Apply

If you are thinking that only filling up the EWS form online is enough, then please be careful. Just submitting the online form does NOT guarantee that your EWS Certificate will be issued.

If you fail to attach the correct documents, your application can be rejected or delayed.

Why Proper Documents Are Mandatory for EWS Certificate

I personally visited the Block Office to submit my EWS Certificate application. On the notice board, the officials had displayed a clear list of required documents that must be attached after filling out the online form.

This is not my personal list—this list is officially provided by the Block Office. Today, I am sharing the same verified document list with you so that you do not face any problems.

If you attach all these documents correctly and submit them together, your EWS Certificate will be processed much faster.
