ONLINE UTILITY BILL PRINTOUT????

[esteban951]

Hi, I was wondering if an online Verizon phone bill printout would work as a form of showing proof of residency. Does it have to be the original bill that came in the mail or can that substitute?

Check with your FFL... it's their business.
I've encountered shops that will and shops that won't accept a printout.

If you're looking for proof of residence because the address on your DL is not correct, a verizon bill will not work. It must be a government issued document. It can be any document issued by any government entity.

It is your cell phone or land line? Typically most places don't take cell phone bills.

Whats this landline you guys speak of?? It's the 21st century I have a cell phone implanted in my head!
No joking aside. No go on Cell bills need to be landline bill. Cable bill works as long as its not satellite, Water bill, Garbage bill, PG&E or any other utility bill with an address, NO P.O BOX bill works unless it has your P.O and actual address on bill.

Brightspot will take it. Print out my electric bill and actually goes back a couple of years when actually they only need 90 days worth, Turners in Corona accepts it too.

It's my home phone landline, it has all of the info I need but my worry is the fact that Its a printout from my verizon online accout and not the original bill.

I'm surprised they have such restrictions....when I got my first handgun, I didn't have any of the popular choices for secondary proof like water, electric, landline bill or even that car ownership paper. I told them the car was in my father's name and that I lived with my parents and didn't pay utilities(I did, but none of it in my name) and all the FFL asked me to write up on a blank piece of paper that "I am blah blah blah and I live with my parents and I do not pay utilities" and have one parent sign it and bring it before I pick up the handgun. With something as simple as a handwritten piece of paper, it's amazing that a online print out might not work.

I could have been lying and they wouldn't have been the wiser.

@ Ducman. ok, thanks for the reassurance, hopefully they'll accept it but to be 100% sure I'll give them a call

Printout should be ok, utilities push paperless.

It definitely depends on which FFL you're doing the DROS with. I actually somehow did not have my vehicle registration on me when I went to DROS a pistol and the guy at Turners (yes, Turners!) actually let me just login to my gas company online billing through their computer and printed it out from there! I was pleasantly surprised with the above-and-beyond service! (That's Turners in Kearney Mesa, for the record.)
