Can a printed copy of bill count as proof of residency? JEA and credit card?

Yes, in Florida, a printed copy of a JEA bill or a credit card statement can count as proof of residency for getting a REAL ID compliant driver’s license.

Here’s what’s important:

• Two Proofs Required: You typically need to provide two different documents showing your residential address.
• Recent Date: Utility bills (like JEA) and financial statements (like credit card statements) must generally be dated within the last 60 days (some sources say 30 days, so 60 days is a safe bet).
• Your Name and Address: Both documents must clearly show your name and the residential address you are claiming.
• Printed Copy: The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) and various county tax collector websites specifically state that “printouts or faxes of these documents are acceptable” for residential address proofs. So, printing your online bill or statement is usually fine.

In summary, for your JEA bill and credit card statement:

• JEA Bill: A printed copy of your recent JEA bill (dated within the last 60 days) with your name and address should be accepted.
• Credit Card Statement: A printed copy of a recent credit card statement (dated within the last 60 days) with your name and address should also be accepted.

Important Note: While these documents are generally accepted, it’s always a good idea to double-check the specific requirements on your local county’s Tax Collector or DMV website in Florida, as they can sometimes have minor variations or additional recommendations.
