Additional Residency Document Information

If residency document(s) addressed to you are not readily available, you may use a birth certifcate, marriage license, or domestic partner registration certifcate to trace your relationship to the individual to whom the acceptable residency document(s) are addressed. For example, a child may use residency document(s) in their parents’ name by presenting a birth certifcate showing the relationship. The name on the residency document(s) must match the name on the tracing document.

• If the residency document(s) refect a name that differs from the tracing document due to a name change (for example, marriage, divorce, or court order), additional documentation will be required as evidence of the name change. For example, a child may use residency documents(s) with the mother’s name differing from the birth certifcate by also presenting a marriage certifcate and/or dissolution of marriage document showing the mother’s different last name that that which is on the residency document(s).

• If the residency document(s) refects a name that differs from the BD/LP/Identity document due to a name change (for example, marriage, divorce, or court order), additional documentation will be required as evidence of the name change. For example, a divorced individual may use the residency document(s) in their prior last name by presenting a marriage certifcate and/or dissolution of marriage document showing the name change.
