What documents do I need to bring?
Important: All documents you present for your proof of residential address must show the exact same address – including street number, apartment number, city, and zip code. Even small differences can cause your application to be rejected.

What if I don’t have address documents in my name?
If you cannot provide two approved Florida residential address documents in your name, but live with someone else (the certifier), you may use a Certification of Address, Form HSMV 71120 (PDF).
How does the Certification of Address form work?
The certifier (the person providing proof of address) must either:
- Accompany you to our office to sign the form in front of an examiner OR sign the form in front of a notary.
- Provide two documents proving their own address (one must be a deed/mortgage, property tax bill, recent monthly mortgage statement or a rental/lease agreement).
For minors: Parents or guardians must provide two proofs of address in their own name plus documents showing the family/guardian relationship. They do not need to complete the Certification of Address form.
Address requirements for minors
Parents or guardians of a minor need to provide two proofs of address in their name, along with documents that show the family or guardian relationship. There’s no need to complete the Certification of Address form.
