How do I show Proof of Residency? Obtain a utility bill from the address you currently reside, along with a letter from the person you are living with stating that you and your child(ren) are living with them, and explain that you have no mail and/or bills in your name.
If you don't have any utility bills, you can still prove your residency through other means. You can use a combination of your license, tax documents, bank statements, lease agreements, and other official paperwork. The essential factor is that the form of proof shows your address and name.
Visit your bank or credit union and ask for a copy of your most recent account statement that includes your name and address. In some cases, any piece of mail specifically addressed to your name rather than occupant or resident can be accepted as proof of residency.
If you don't have sufficient original documents to prove your address, some financial institutions and government agencies will accept an affidavit filled out by someone you live with.
