Proof of address
« on: August 01, 2017, 06:19:01 PM »
Hi,

I do not have any bills other than bank statements and credit card bills on this address and am looking for ideas to (obtain and) show proof of address?

I live in Canada and have bank accounts, credit cards, a good credit score, a SSN in the states. When I applied recently for a Chase sapphire card I was asked to provide proof of address in order to get my application approved. As I mentioned I don't have a way to prove that so I am looking for ideas to do in this situation.

Any help will be appreciated.

Drivers license ?
Or go into your bank and ask for a letter stating your address

License is not on that address.

In the bank they will not require proof of address to provide such a letter.

Be careful, this may cross the line from loopholes to fraud.

I assume you mean creating fake proof which I would not do, other than that I see no problem here.

How about telling Chase that situation outright. That you commute between the US and Canada, with Canada being your primary address, and only US based business goes to the US address? Anyone have such experience?

You can add your name to a utility bill.
