ORIGINAL POSTERWhen applying for DTV it asks for proof of current residence. If I’m in the U.S. could I just scan a photo of my drivers license with my address on it?
TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can use a scanned photo of your driver's license as proof of current residence when applying for a DTV visa. Several users have confirmed that this method is accepted, and you may want to provide supplementary documents such as flight confirmations or bank statements to strengthen your application.

I provided my driver's license along with my proof of car insurance card, and my latest car lease payment. I also highlighted my name and address on the bank statements I provided for the financial requirements.

Yes, I did that (from Uk) and was accepted. They may ask to see your inward flight confirmation though
