TLDR : Answer Summary

A Residency certificate is generally valid for 30 days, as confirmed by multiple responses from community members. However, some users reported that a copy of a much older certificate (almost 6 months old) was accepted by their bank, implying some flexibility in the validity period depending on the situation.

I needed one each to buy a car and get a license. An original was required for both things. Both were kept.
