Frequently Asked Questions

What documents are typically accepted as proof of address?
Common proof of address documents include utility bills, bank statements, lease agreements, mortgage statements, insurance policies, and government correspondence. Our checklist covers all accepted address verification methods.
How recent should address documentation be?
Most lenders require address documents to be dated within 30-90 days of the application. Some documents like lease agreements or mortgage statements can be older if they show continuous residence at the same address.
What if I'm living with family or friends?
If you're living with family or friends, you'll need a notarized letter from the homeowner/renter stating you live there, plus utility bills or other documents in your name at that address.
Can I use digital or online statements as proof of address?
Yes, most lenders accept printed online statements, but they must show the complete statement with your name and address clearly visible. Some lenders may require original mailed statements.
