Address Guidelines

Estimated Read time: 1 minute

You will be required to provide proof of your U.S.-based home address. The documentation or identification that you submit must include:

  • Your full name.
  • Your current U.S. address.

Accepted forms of proof include:

  • A fully signed, unexpired lease or rental agreement with your name listed as the lessee, permitted resident, or renter (may be a photocopy).
  • A driver’s license or other government-issued ID (unexpired with no evidence of tampering, such as clipped corners or holes; may be a photocopy).
    • Note: Passports are not accepted, because they do not include a home address. 
  • Documents issued within the last 60 days showing your name, current address, and issue/statement date (may be a photocopy), such as:
    • A utility bill (i.e., water, gas, electric, or cable).
    • A phone or internet bill (i.e., landline, cell phone, or home internet).
    • A bank, credit card, or investment account statement.
    • A student loan statement.
    • A letter from a U.S. university or college registrar’s office (on official letterhead).
    • Official mail from a government agency.
    • A government check or employer paycheck.

For Canadian Residents: If you do not have a U.S.-based home address, refer to the Canadian Fee Assistance Program website for eligibility, deadlines, and application information.
