Proof of Residency Letter Generator

The generator above works as a reusable proof of residency letter template: you fill in the resident's name, the address, and the dates, then download a print-ready PDF. Because every field is editable, one template covers a DMV visit, a school enrollment, a bank account, or any office that asks you to prove where you live.

Very often the person who needs proof of residency is not on the lease or the utility account — an adult child at home, a partner, or a relative staying long-term. In that case you, as the homeowner or leaseholder, write the letter on their behalf. The sentence that does the work: "I, [your name], confirm that [name] has resided at [full address] since [date]. I am the [homeowner/leaseholder] at this address."

Sign it, date it, and include your phone number. Attaching a copy of your own utility bill or lease ties the letter to the address and is what most offices actually want to see alongside it.

If you were asked for a proof of address letter, an address verification letter, or simply a residency letter rather than a proof of residency letter, they are all the same thing. "Address" and "residency" are used interchangeably here, so the letter you generate above covers any of those requests — it confirms your name, your current residential address, and how long you have lived there.

The one time the wording matters is when an office asks for a sworn statement. A plain signed letter satisfies most banks and landlords, but some schools, DMV offices, and government agencies want it notarized under oath — an affidavit of residence. Read the request: if it says "affidavit" or "notarized," generate the letter here and take it to a notary to sign.
