How to I became certificate jain

It sounds like you want an official paper that says you are Jain. Please note:

• In Jainism there is no universal “certificate” to become Jain. Being Jain is mainly about faith and practice (following anuvratas, samayik, pratikraman, compassion, ahimsa).
• Certificates are usually for administrative needs (school/college forms, government records, marriage, travel, minority benefits in India, etc.).

What you can do (simple steps)

1) If you were born Jain

• Collect basic proofs: your or your parents’ documents where “Religion: Jain” is written (school records, birth certificate, old certificates, PAN/Aadhaar with religion if available, etc.).
• Get a letter on letterhead from your local Jain Sangh/Derasar Trust confirming you are Jain. It is signed/stamped by the President/Secretary.
• For government purposes (India): apply for a Religion/Minority certificate at your local Tehsil/SDM or state portal. Usual documents: ID, address proof, photos, birth/school record showing Jain, and the Sangh letter. Exact process and portal name varies by state.

2) If you were not born Jain but wish to adopt Jain Dharma

• There is no baptism in Jainism. Start living Jain principles: five anuvratas (small vows), daily samayik/pratikraman, vegetarian/vegan ahimsak diet, and satsang.
• Regularly attend a nearby Jain Sangh/Derasar and learn basics from a guru/pravachankar.
• After sincere practice for some time, request your Sangh/Derasar for a confirmation letter stating you follow Jain Dharma. Many institutions accept this for their records.
• For government records (where allowed), you may need an affidavit plus the Sangh letter. Procedures differ by country/state—check your local rules.

3) For special cases

• Marriage registration or community programs: Sangh/Temple letter usually works.
• Overseas or yatra permissions: Ask the issuing authority what format they need; your local Sangh can issue that format on letterhead.
• Minority certificate (India): Jains are a National Minority (since 2014). Apply through your state’s citizen services with the Sangh letter and standard proofs.

Notes

• Digambar and Shwetambar traditions do not have different “certification” systems. Both recognize genuine Jain practice and community verification.
• Always use truthful documents. Requirements vary by place and can change; confirm details at your local government office/official website.
