Can DTV holders report residential address to nearest immigration office and request for certified address from the same immigration office?
Answer summary
DTV holders can report their residential address to the nearest immigration office and request a Certificate of Residence. However, the process may vary by office, as each has its own rules regarding documentation like the TM30 and whether a 90 Day Report is required. Some offices may require that your visa was issued in the same province.

It's not about nearest office, it's about the office that serves the province you live in. Most immigration offices would have no problem, but very few require a long term visa.
Each immigration office has its own quirks and rules regarding issuing Certificated of Residence. Some for example require you to have completed a 90 Day Report while others have been known to issue them as long as a TM30 logged. Recently in Chiang Mai Expat Groups people have said local immigration here will not issue CoR is the visa issued elsewhere. This has caught out some who used agents for a O visa in Bangkok and Chonburi
A TM30 is to be filed by the landlord landowner notifying immigration that there's a foreigner staying at the address, and then in theory you could go ask for a certificate of residence from your local immigration if that's what you're talking about.
