How can I provide proof of location for my DTV visa application when staying with family?

Question

I am an American and I'm currently applying for soft power dtv through the Washington embassy. Im on the "Document indicating current location". I'm currently staying with my mom while I'm here so I don't have any "documentation". Is going and getting a hotel the only way around this? Thanks in advance!

The user is seeking alternative ways to provide documentation for their current location while applying for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) through the Washington embassy. Responses from the community suggest alternatives such as using a driver's license, bank statements, or providing creative photographic evidence with timestamps showing current location, like selfies in airports or with location services enabled on devices. Other users shared their experiences, noting that embassies, particularly in North America, tend to be less strict about these requirements.

I was approved for my dTV, submitted through LA Embassy.  I used a picture of my driver’s license, front and back for this section.

I turned on the map app on my iPad and took a picture of the blue dot showing location with the phone. My driver’s license is also in the picture. This was accepted by the Los Angeles embassy. Kap

Dont over think it. I had a non o visa (no home address). I applied using my aunts address in which I just had some mail at her house to prove residence. Had no issues with Washington at all in regards to that.

Hi Mando, as an American citizen you may also show a valid driving license if you're unable to provide utility bills in your name.

Feel free to reach out to us for any other questions you have. We've successfully supported over 120 applicants through the DTV visa process with our cooking school so we're quite familiar with the process.

Driving licence or bank statement showing address is enough at this embassy

I used my driver's licence when I applied in Canada. I think the North American embassies are not very strict about this like the embassies near Thailand, especially when you are applying in your home country.

I made a document for this with boarding pass, hotel booking etc as I traveled but I also included selfie with the airport arrivals screen showing the date lol. And another photo where I swiped up showing my iPhone location as Bali and screenshotted it. Maybe you can take selfie and show date and location at the local bank or something where there's a screen showing time and date?
