• Vehicle Registration: If your vehicle is registered at the property address, it can indicate your residency.
• Voter Registration: A voter registration card listing your address in Lahaina can be used to confirm your residency.
• Financial Statements: Financial statements sent to your Lahaina address can help establish residency, especially if they cover an extended period. Employment agency registration or paystubs or checks can also help prove residency.
• Insurance Documents: Homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policies with your Lahaina address can be used as proof of residency.
• Mail: A letter or other mail delivered to your address from an employer, public official, social service organization, local school, or school district can offer proof of occupancy.
