I need a government proof of address

As it looks like I'm gonna be in the country another year at least, and I wanna buy me a Glock and modify the fuck out of it. Only problem is, I need a goverment proof of address to do so, and seeing as I got no social security number (I'm employed in the UK, but here providing consultancy services) or anything like that I'm a little stumped on how to get one.
Anybody got any ideas? I was thinking of taking myself down the DMV and applying for a US license, but I hear they aint the friendliest at the best of times down there, so figured I'd ask you helpful people first.
Muchas Gracias!!

Mmmmm, I wondered if that might be the case. I guess I'll have to see if I can get a SSN. The DMV website said even an SSN rejection letter would do, but it wasn't entirely clear.
I wonder if nonimmigrants can get a SSN though? The website for it is also, confusing as fuck.

Are you on a work visa still? You've been in and out for years. You could probably get a duel citizenship or whatever fairly easily seeing as you're white, middle class and working. Idk how long that takes or what kinds of effort that would entail though. I know we'd all be ecstatic to see you become an American

Yeah, but this time I'm here as an Australian rather than an Englishman as they kept rejecting my visa applications with my British passport. Plus I'm dual nationality already; not sure if one can go triple in this world?
Do the social security people have offices one can go to? It's be nice to be able to ask a human that's 'in the know' about these things face to face...

I don’t know what state you are in. You may need to take a gun safety course or something even as a citizen. My advice would be to go to a local gun shop and ask them. They will definitely know the laws.

RI. I've already chatted at length with the guys at my local range. This lack of proof of address is all that's holding me back.

In my area the social security office is next door to the DMV.
Might be the same or nearby in your area

Why do you need a glock?
I have no idea what laws are for non citizens or even green card visa holders are for fire arms. Nor what export laws are for leaving with it. Nor what the nation you go to has on import laws.
I think you'll likely go to prison and be deported.

Unless you meet some CIA hacker type with fake DMV or SS cards and a press good luck.

This looks promising.
"Lawfully admitted noncitizens can get many benefits and services without a Social Security number. You don’t need a number to get a driver’s license, register for school, get private health insurance, or apply for school lunch programs or subsidized housing."
Do you have a list of requirements for the government proof of address?

I'm guessing you have an international driver's license but what about insurance? Is there some kind of special thing with people in your situation? Surely if you can drive you must be insured somehow, perhaps in some way they could serve as a proof of address? Especially since insurance would run as at least state-level.

As far as the proof of address. Do you get any mail where you live? Bills? Checks? Would that be sufficient proof of address?

Because I need a mechanical type hobby here, seeing as my tools/bikes are in England, and I love shooting (and modifying things). Nothing wrong with loosing a few rounds down the range I reckon! I aint bad at it either:

Thanks man! That does look promising indeed:

Sounds like me!

I permanently drive a rental here. I have a Chevy Malibu right now. Switch cars every two months. Costs my company an arm and a leg I'm sure, but I aint complaining.

I was told that it would have to be a government one. And since they're the guys that would sell me a gun, I guess I gotta comply...

LOL I did that once. Promised myself not to do it again when I had to deal with the paperwork to get out of it.
I don't recommend it.

There is literally nothing that could convince me to stay here forever.
This place scares me.

Why not go to the range and make rriends to shoot their guns. I doubt the feds are big on foreigners having guns. Then again the nra would arm isis.
