cedros Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 My bank has suddenly decided I need something that shows where i live.(plus other things like Fiel, CURP, RFC #-I have these latter 2). The problem is that I rent so utilities are not in my name. The landlord did not want to do a lease and he is gone for many months. The phone here is in his exwife's name. If I could track her down maybe she would change it to my name. There must be a way to deal with this but I can't think of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibarra Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 We have experienced this problem with employees in our fraccionamiento. The business requesting proof of address allowed them to use their cell phone contracts as proof. Their contracts happened to be with Telcel which probably helped the approval. The cell phone contract was also used to open a bank account with a major bank in Chapala. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedros Posted September 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Thanks. Telcel never did give me a contract. I will have to ask there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
777 Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Because I am a renter, when I renew mt driver's license, I need proof of residence. I go to the 2nd floor of city hall in Chapala. Go upstairs. Directly across from the stairs on the 2nd floor there is a desk outside an office. Present all the regular documents (2copies) and an infantile photo. Return same day and they will give you a proof of residency letter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonhill Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Make sure you take originals and copies of all your documents, and they will also require two little passport type photos. Go to the photographer first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Just take any utility bill that you have; doesn't matter if it's in your name of not. I guess the govt. figures that if you have access to the bill it must be because it came to your address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been four years since I did it so I am not familiar with the current rules. if I remember I took an infantile sized photo along with a copy of a page of my escritura (deed) that had my name on it from a property I owned in the municipio of Jocotepec, copy of permanent resident visa, and copy of a recent telmex bill that had my name on it. I pd something like 35 pesos for the letter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVGRINGO Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 The utility bill is used to prove that the address exists; not that you live there, which they assume, since you have the bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
