I had to update my address on my driver’s license and they needed a couple pieces of mail with my new address and name on it to verify but I hadn’t gotten any mail at the new place yet.
Then I started thinking about it more and realized I haven’t actually received a letter addressed specifically to me in over a year, possibly in over 3 years. I have everything set to send by email because it isn’t 1950 anymore. Am I just a loser with no corporate pen pals or is physical mail an antiquated form of address verification now?
I get a reasonable amount of mail. Like a few pieces/week. You could also use a lease/print out the utility bills in your name.
They won’t accept a print out but I requested some paper statements from my bank so that should be fine. Just seems a bit inconvenient for no reason other than not updating their procedures.
I recently went to the bank to get a letter on their headed notepaper to act as proof of account ownership. They just printed it out on blank paper from a laser printer.
