Can my voter registration be used as proof of address? I’m in the process of applying for a Working With Children Check for a new job, and I’ve hit a bit of a snag. I recently moved in with my boyfriend at his dad’s house. I pay rent in cash and don’t have a lease agreement since his name is the only one on the lease and utilities. My driver’s license and bank statements still show my family home as my address, and I’ve been told it could take weeks to officially update that. I haven’t lived at my family home for the past three years, so it isn’t listed as my past residence either.

I’ve read online that some people have successfully used their voter registration as proof of address. Has anyone tried this and had good results?

One thought on “Can i use my enrolment to vote as proof of address?”

  1. Yes, in many cases, your voter registration can be used as proof of address, especially if it includes your current address. However, it can depend on the specific requirements of the organization or agency you are dealing with, in this case, the one requiring the Working With Children Check (WWCC).

    I recommend checking the official guidelines for the WWCC in your area, as they often list acceptable forms of proof of address. If voter registration is accepted, make sure to have a printout or digital copy of your registration that clearly shows your name and current address. If you have any concerns, you might also reach out to the WWCC office directly to confirm what documentation they will accept. Good luck!
