- 1). Reside in Arizona seven or more months out of each year. If this is the criteria you wish to meet, then you should obtain some sort of proof that you have lived in the state. Staying at your friend's house with no evidence of residence will probably not convince anyone. A dated rental contract with proof of payment will most likely work, as will utility bills with your name on them.
- 2). Own a business that has offices in Arizona. Alternatively, you can own a business that has vehicles operating in the state. You will want to have a copy of a business license valid in one of Arizona's municipalities in order to prove this.
- 3). Hold a job in Arizona that is not derived from seasonal agricultural work. A paycheck stub from a business with an address in Arizona would demonstrate this employment. Seasonal work in agriculture does not meet residency requirements because these workers move from state to state with great frequency.
- 4). Have a child in the state's school system and do not pay non-residency fees. If the school system has accepted you as a resident, this may be sufficient proof for other agencies.
- 5). Possess an Arizona driver's license. If the Motor Vehicle Division has accepted you as a resident, this can go a long way toward proving to other agencies that you are a resident. When you get a driver's license, Arizona makes it easy to register to vote simultaneously. Proof of voter registration would also serve to establish residency for any inquiring agency.
- 6). Pay state income tax in Arizona. A tax form with your name, the date of the most recent tax year and language regarding the amount of money you paid as state income tax will be proof of residency.
- 7). Meet any of the above criteria without being a resident of another state. Residency in another state negates the opportunity to be a resident of Arizona, no matter how many criteria you meet.
