How many proofs of California residency must you provide when applying for an instruction permit?
-
A.
One proof
-
B.
Three proofs
-
C.
Two proofs Correct
The answer is "Two proofs"
The California instruction-permit document list asks for two proofs of residency, and the manual notes exceptions may apply. Some applicants remember bringing a single address document for another purpose, like opening a utility account, and carry that habit into a DMV counter that asks for two.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. One proof
The California instruction-permit document list normally asks for two proofs of residency, not one; the manual notes exceptions may apply. This answer applies the single-document address standard used for opening a utility account or signing a lease to a DMV counter that asks for two.
B. Three proofs
The California instruction-permit document list asks for two proofs of residency, not three. This answer recalls a general habit of gathering several address documents to be safe and rounds past the two the manual names.
