�–� Vehicle Registration: If your vehicle is registered at the property address, it can indicate your residency.

�–� Voter Registration: A voter registration card listing your address in Lahaina can be used to confirm your residency.

�–� Financial Statements: Financial statements sent to your Lahaina address can help establish residency, especially if they cover an extended period.
