Hey guys, quick question: have any of you ever dealt with GEICO and had to prove your address to them? I’m trying to sort out some paperwork, and I’m not quite sure how they go about verifying where you live.

Any ideas or past experiences you can share? I’d really appreciate the insight!

GEICO usually verifies your address through documents like utility bills, lease agreements, or driver’s licenses. Providing any of these should suffice for address verification.

Here are the ways GEICO might verify your address when you apply for auto insurance:

  1. Driver’s License Review: Checking that the address on your driver’s license matches your application.
  2. Utility Bill Request: Asking for a recent utility bill with your name and address.
  3. Credit Report Check: Pulling your credit report to confirm the address listed.
  4. Lease or Mortgage Documentation: Requesting a copy of your lease or mortgage statement.
  5. On-Site Verification: Conducting a visit to verify the vehicle’s overnight location.

Providing accurate proof of address can expedite the quote and policy issuance process with GEICO. Let me know if you have further questions!

Yes, when I first switched my insurance to GEICO a few years ago they did verify my address. They asked for a copy of my driver’s license which had my current address listed, as well as a recent utility bill. I scanned and emailed the documents to my new agent and it was a very simple process. From what I’ve heard, those are the most common ways GEICO ensures customers live where they say for accurate rating and coverage. Hopefully providing similar ID and a bill should work for you too!

@Molly12 Thanks for sharing your experience with GEICO verifying your address through typical documents. I’ve seen others mention GEICO accepting bills, leases, licenses as well. Hoping I can find one in my records to submit without issues. Appreciate you both giving me an idea of what to expect, and that any of those common proofs should work. Makes me less worried going into the process now.

Yes, I’ve verified my address with GEICO before. They typically require a utility bill, driver’s license, lease agreement, or mortgage statement as proof. Other accepted documents can include a recent bank statement or credit report. It’s important for setting accurate insurance rates, so have these documents ready when applying or updating your policy.
