What is a DMV Proof of Residency (Address) Letter?

A DMV Proof of Residency (Address) Letter is a document that authenticates an individual's residential address. The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) often requires this document when issuing driver's licenses, including Real ID, or registering vehicles. This letter serves as an official affirmation of a person's current residential address, ensuring their identity and residence are correctly registered with the DMV.

Typically, utility bills, lease agreements, mortgage statements, or official government documents that include your name and address can be used to provide proof of residency.

You could possibly use a lease agreement or mortgage statement from your new address. If those aren't available, it's best to check with your local DMV for their specific requirements as they may vary.

The time it takes can vary depending on how quickly you can gather the necessary documents and how busy the DMV is. It's best to start the process as soon as possible to avoid any delays.
