I believe it's allowed in California, I and also my husband always use a PO box on our ID's. As long as you prove residence at your physical address at the DMV, they're allowed to list a PO box on the card. I'm not sure for USCIS purpose if it's ok, but in general it's allowed. Thanks for all you help.

Oh yes that makes a lot of sense! Thanks so much. Unfortunately my ID is under the PO box, but if the proof can be from a long time ago I should be able to come up with something.

Oh interesting, I didn't think of it this way. At the same time, I did go to college here, so I would think they had at least an old address of mine. Of course since I moved, it wouldn't match this new address. Maybe I'll order a college transcript to my new address and with my valid ID this time it could be enough. Thanks so much for all your suggestions.

I had proof of address when I got my ID, it was a long time ago, so I don't remember what it was. Maybe some old medical bill which would not be within the 3 months. Maybe we can put one utility under my name, thanks for the suggestions.

I know it's odd, so that's why I asked here. I didn't have any problems with any other steps. For ROC I just had an interview with my husband and was approved on the spot. The agent understood the situation and we explained everything. I have some of those you mentioned, but I don't know how it would provide a proof that I've lived at this address for the 3 months prior to applying. I would be applying under the 5 year rule this time. I'm specifically asking about that (3 months residency), not the bonafide marriage thing. Thanks for the reply.

I don't since it's a business account, but thanks for the suggestion.

This is what they wrote in the denial: *Proof that your spouse has been a U.S. citizen for at least the past three years *Proof that you have resided in the State and city listed on Form N-400, Application for Naturalization *Proof that you have been married and living in marital union with your spouse for the three(3) years prior to filing your N-400 The first one is bogus because I sent in my husband's passport and birth certificate and he was born here, I don't know how they missed it TWICE!!! The second is my issue right now and the third shouldn't really be an issue anymore if not applying under marriage rule. I don't have anything pending, I got my green card in 2016 and it's still valid until 2029. Yes we are still married and living together.

Yes that's a good point, which is why I asked here. I don't think I had a state ID at the time (I do now), and I definitely didn't have any utility bills. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the requirements. Yes I got denied, but I had applied based on marriage and now I don't have to, so I don't know if the scrutiny about bills will be as high as last time. Somehow they seemed obsessed with bills 😂 I told them multiple times, I don't have any in my name. Except maybe a few old medical bills. But they would be too old to use now.

Yes under the 5 year rule. Last time I applied they wanted utility bills and lease agreement to prove that I had resided at the address for the previous 3 months before I applied. I do have a valid state ID, so maybe that's enough. To be fair, I did apply 5 years ago and I haven't kept up with potential new rules, so maybe it's changed. Thanks for the reply.

I'm trying to re-apply for citizenship and I'm still running into an issue with the 3 months in the same state proof. Maybe someone has been in my situation and can help me. I have been living at the same address for over 10 years at this point, but I get my mail delivered to a PO box. It seems to me I need proof from my home address, is that correct? In addition, I don't have anything in my name and it seems they want utility bills and lease agreements. Does anyone have any idea what I could send instead of those? Thank you so much, I really appreciate any reply and/or advice.
