ORIGINAL POSTER

When 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?

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
