In some cases, you may also need to fill out an Affidavit of Residence, which is then notarized for legal validity.

Many types of documents can count as proof of residency. Common examples include a lease or mortgage agreement, utility bills in your name, a driver's license or ID with your current address, or official mail from a government agency sent to your address. The specific requirements may vary depending on the organization requesting the proof of residency.

If you don't have traditional proof of residency documents like a utility bill or lease agreement, there may be other options.
