REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION FOR PERMITS

VALID DRIVER’S LICENSE: A copy of the applicant’s valid driver’s license is required even if it does not show qualifying address. If driver’s license has been extended, include the DMV certificate of
renewal.

CALIFORNIA VEHICLE REGISTRATION: A copy of applicant’s valid registration card is required even if it doesn’t show qualifying address. Residents whose sole vehicle is registered to another party (i.e., parent or employer) must submit a vehicle affidavit form with the vehicle registration card.

RECENTLY PURCHASED VEHICLES: Can be issued a decal type permit by submitting a copy of “Purchase Agreement/Contract” in place of DMV registration card. Permit is issued to the last four digits of the vehicle identification number when new license plate number is not yet available. Permit is not replaced even after receiving license plates from DMV and will remain valid until end of permit year.

• A current utility bill (gas and electric, Cox Cable, or water bill).
• A property deed or tax bill or closing statement (for recently purchased property or when applicant is a non‑resident property owner).
• A valid driver’s license.
• A rental/lease agreement may be used by new tenants who have been at qualifying address less than 60 days. Agreement must be dated and show names and signatures of both the landlord and tenant.  Sublease not acceptable for this purpose.
