Proof of Address

[Norteman]

Does anyone have any ideas of how to obtain a proof of address paper when you have not completed your residency.

I need this to open a out of country bank account and i am a renter with none of the utility bills in my name.

In other countries they had a service performed by the policia where they produce a document with their seal and /or badge number which acts as a certfying proof you reside at a certain apartment. Does this exist here?

Do you have a rental contract?
If so use that.

Cell Phone bills?
Cable Bills?

Both are good tries, but no luck.

Lease has expired and now just a word of mouth month to month contract.

Cell phone--cant ever get an invoice no matter what i try

Cable is included, and not in my name.

? Notarised statement from your Embassy.

But would not the embassy need some sort of undeniable proof of my resident address to produce such paper?

If I was a bank and somebody wanted to open account I would be worried if said person had absolutely no way of proving where they lived!

Maybe the rules about opening a bank account are designed for this situation?

Interestingly I am in the same situation - my situation was supposed to be temporary.
But if I needed proof I would go to my landlord and have him write a document stating that I did indeed live where I claim - then have it notarised locally for 500 pesos.

You might be better off asking your Embassy this question.

Surely you have your rent receipts, listing your name and the address of the property you are renting. Get the last 3 months of receipts, get them notarized by an attorney, and send them to the bank for proof of address.

The property owner may balk if they think it's for a Dominican bank and they aren't paying taxes on their rental income, but just explain to the landlord it is for a foreign bank. Also explain to the bank that you are renting month to month.

You could also go to the local area police station and ask for a Certificate of Good Conduct which lists your passport number and local address, and submit that with your rent receipts.
