Without a lease, how to establish Maryland residency for driver&#39;s license?
<p>I have worked/rented in Maryland for 18mo, but the coworker I rent a room from won't give me a lease (and I do not wish to create any problems with him by insisting). </p>

<p>Can I get my driver's license with no lease? </p>

<p>The <a href="http://www.mva.maryland.gov" rel="nofollow">Maryland MVA</a>'s '<a href="http://www.mva.maryland.gov/drivers/apply/sources-of-proof.htm" rel="nofollow">sources of proof</a>' page lists these as proof of Maryland residency; at least two are required.  </p>

<ul>
<li>Maryland vehicle registration card or title;</li>
<li>Utility, telephone or cable/satellite TV bill;</li>
<li>Checking or savings account statement;</li>
<li>Life insurance card or policy (over 3 years old);</li>
<li>Property tax bill or receipt;</li>
<li>Mortgage account or proof of home ownership (Deed, Title, Bill of Sale or Statement from Maryland Assessment and Taxation);</li>
<li>Residential rental contract (apartment lease or other rental of real property)(current formal contract or agreement between landlord and tenant which includes all signatures);</li>
<li>First class or priority mail from a federal, state or local government agency to include the contents and envelope, excluding mail from the Administration;</li>
<li>Copy of federal or MD income tax return filing not more than 18 months old, with proof of filing;</li>
<li>Installment contract from a bank or other financial institution;</li>
<li>Sales tax or business license;</li>
<li>Major credit card and Department/Retail store credit card bills (Wal-Mart, Sears, Lowe's, Exxon, etc);</li>
<li>Residential service contract (refers to services performed at the address of residence; for example, cable or satellite television, TV repairs, lawn service or exterminator contract);</li>
<li>Canceled check with imprinted name and address;</li>
<li>Voter registration card;</li>
<li>Selective Service Card.</li>
</ul>

<p>The documents you submit must also satisfy these requirements:</p>

<ul>
<li>Must include the applicant's name and residence address.</li>
<li>May not be from the same business, company or agency.</li>
<li>Must reflect a current, recent or valid date. </li>
</ul>

<p>So while a lease is a valid source of proof, as long as you can provide two from the list above then you won't need a copy of your lease to get your license.</p>
