What can I use for proof of residence as I am living with someone and do not have anything in my name?

A) When you’re living with someone and don’t have anything in your name to use as proof of residence for the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles), you can typically provide alternative documents that show your current address and demonstrate that you are residing at that location. Here are some common alternatives that are usually accepted:

1. Letter from the Primary Resident: Ask the primary resident of the household to write a letter confirming that you live at the same address. The letter should include their name, contact information, and a statement indicating that you are a resident at that address.
2. Utility Bills: While you mentioned that you don’t have anything in your name, you can still use utility bills in the primary resident’s name as proof of residence. These bills may include water, electricity, gas, internet, or cable bills.
3. Bank Statements: Some DMVs may accept bank statements that show your name and the address you are currently residing at. Check with your local DMV to confirm if they accept bank statements as proof of residence.
4. Lease Agreement or Rental Contract: If the primary resident has a lease or rental agreement for the property, you can provide a copy of that agreement as proof of your residence.
5. Notarized Affidavit: You can create a notarized affidavit, signed by both you and the primary resident, stating that you live at the address. Some DMVs may accept this as proof of residence.
6. Voter Registration Card: If you are registered to vote at your current address, you can use your voter registration card as proof of residence.
7. Vehicle Registration or Insurance: If you have a vehicle registered in your name, the DMV may accept your vehicle registration or insurance card as proof of residence, even if the address is not the same as your current residence.

It’s important to note that the specific documents accepted as proof of residence may vary depending on the state or country where you reside. Before visiting the DMV, it’s best to check their official website or contact them directly to confirm which alternative documents they accept as proof of residence.
