Is asking for letters with your name and address as verification outdated? - Lemmy.World

I’m talking about mail used as communication that a business would send you. I had to update my address on my driver’s license and they needed a couple pieces of mail with my new address and name on it to verify but I hadn’t gotten any mail at the new place yet. Then I started thinking about it more and realized I haven’t actually received a letter addressed specifically to me in over a year, possibly in over 3 years. I have everything set to send by email because it isn’t 1950 anymore. Am I just a loser with no corporate pen pals or is physical mail an antiquated form of address verification now?

What state? You should probably be able to use a utility bill for that purpose, even if it’s a digital bill.
The large state of Canada. They said they wouldn’t accept a printout and that I just have to request some physical statements or bills from the companies.
