Which of the following is typically required as documentation for proof of residency?

Documentation for proof of residency often requires items that directly indicate where a person lives. Utility bills, lease agreements, or government-issued identification with an address all provide concrete evidence of a person's current residence. Utility bills are especially useful as they are regularly issued and clearly show the individual's name and current address, reflecting their current living situation.

Lease agreements serve as a formal contract that confirms the tenant's address, while government-issued identification (such as a driver’s license or state ID) provides both a name and an address, further establishing residency. These documents must have current information to be considered valid proof of where someone resides.

Other options, such as tax returns, bank statements, or employment contracts, may occasionally contain an address but are not reliable or commonly accepted as primary documentation for residency verification, as they do not necessarily reflect the individual’s current living situation as clearly as the specified documents do.
