Proof of Residency PDF — Free Template (Private, No Upload)

A proof of residency letter confirms where someone lives and who can verify it. Landlords, government agencies, and schools often ask for this document when they need something more formal than a bill or envelope. CourtPDF’s Proof of Residency tool keeps the process private by running entirely in your browser.

When you'll be asked for proof of residency

  • DMV appointments: Many states ask for a signed statement from a landlord or roommate in addition to utility bills.
  • School enrollment: Districts may require a letter confirming the student and guardian live at the address on file.
  • Court filings: Judges may ask for residency confirmation when establishing jurisdiction, service of process, or venue.

How to generate the PDF in minutes

  1. Open the Proof of Residency generator and click Load sample to see a completed template.
  2. Enter the resident’s name, address, move-in date, and your contact information. You can toggle an optional “Private Copy” watermark if the recipient prefers.
  3. Preview the PDF instantly, then download it—no uploads leave your browser. Print or email the letter with a copy of the lease or utility bill if required.

Residency checklist

Attach these supporting items when someone asks for more proof:

  • Current lease agreement or renewal notice
  • Recent utility bill or bank statement showing the address
  • Photo ID for the resident (with sensitive numbers redacted)
  • A backup affidavit such as a Proof of Identity declaration if agencies want a sworn statement

Build a complete housing packet

Pair this letter with a rent history using the Rent Ledger tool or a full lease summary from Lease Proof. If you need to prove deliveries, combine it with the new Proof of Delivery PDF and our Statement of Facts generator so reviewers see the bigger picture.
