Word origin
地址证明 (dìzhǐzhèngmíng, "proof of address") is formed from 地址 (dìzhǐ, "address") and 证明 (zhèngmíng, "proof"), so the compound names a document that verifies an address.
Usage tips
- The term commonly appears when an institution checks personal details, such as during mailing, account opening, or registration, rather than when someone simply states an address aloud.
