Although HAVA does have ID requirements for voters who register by mail and then seek to cast a ballot for the first time, no '''proof''' of residency is required to register to vote. It does happen that some residents, especially the homeless or those taken care of by family, may lack the proofs or residency (such as utility bills or bank statements) required to obtain ID in most states.
