Since the electricity is included in the rent, and you don t pay for it, may I recommend taking your cable or satellite bill to the DMV. They both can be use as proof of address. You can also take your telephone bill, if you have a private landline, or your cell phone bill to the DMV and use it as proof of address.If this is your first time going to the DMV, my advise is don t to go to the one near your home. They usually have long and lines and long waits, specially in the middle of the week and on Friday. I would recommend going to the one in Manhattan, which is located inside the Herald Center at 34th Street and Broadway (right across from Macy s). The folks there will process your application quikly. The DMV in the Herald Center is on the 8th floor of the building.To make it even easier for you, I ve included a copy of the DMV application of driver s license/ID at the link below. Please note, this a PDF files.http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/forms/mv44.��I hope this information is very helpful.Good luck
I m a Texan, but here, as long as you have the required documens, it only takes a few minutes to actually get the ID. It s the waiting in line that can sometimes be a problem.I found this NY DMV page that indicates that other things are acceptable as proof of residence. Among them are College Student ID with a transcript and bills that you regularly receive at your residence such as cellular phone or credit card bills or bank statements.
