These items below may be helpful

  1. Utility bills from while you lived there
  2. Copies of tax returns with that home on the address section
  3. Copies of voter registration and vehicle registrations with that home address
  4. Letters from pastors or doctors
  5. Affidavits from former neighbors that state you lived there for a certain period of time.
