What can be used for proof of address for an 18 year old to get her license? She has no bank account, utility bills, report card doesn't include her address

That only works under 18.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Wait, no credit card?!?!?!? 😲 That is grounds for getting banned!

Maybe her school can put together some sort of transcript that includes address?

AUs which don't have their own statements. I'm going to try with a statement that lists her as an AU

She can open a bank account but she wants proof of address for tomorrow am and won't get a statement for a few weeks

She can walk in to the branch tomorrow and ask them to print a statement/bank letter.

You should double check but I think any goverment letters should work, jury duty or election material etc. (There was just an election if you still have the sample ballot lying around.)
Hope you figure it out

In NY, a stamped envelope with his name and address worked for my 18yo son last week.

Thanks, and thank you to everyone who gave suggestions. I signed a lease with her for one room in our house + printed a credit card statement that lists her as a an authorized user. I hope one of the two will work, otherwise we'll have to open a bank account and try again after camp (or get the school to provide transcripts with an address but at this point that will also be after camp)

Maybe order an Amazon package overnight to your house with her name as the recipient?

ETA: For example, you can order this and get delivery in Lakewood by 11 a.m. if you pay $6 for it plus $3 for shipping. Or order something more than $35 and get the shipping for free.

Thanks again to everyone who gave suggestions!

For future reference for anyone who will need this:
Regular mail is not valid proof of address
Authorized user on cc is not good enough
If you're bringing a bank statement make sure it's dated within 60 days - many others there had older statements that weren't accepted

I signed a one year lease with my daughter to rent her room at $50/month and that was accepted as valid proof of address - thanks @best !

It's all hit or miss. You can walk in with the exact same documents that weren't accepted the first time, and they'll accept them.

Most likely to reach people with experience with NJ MVC. Other states rules don't apply and I think this thread is read by more people (and probably more people who have done this themselves) than any other possible thread.
