Parking stickers

[rethcir.livejournal.com]

Questions for the Davis Square community. I apologize if these are dumb or have already been asked.

We're moving from Medford ("ample parking day or night") to one of the streets a few blocks away from Davis. There are 4 of us moving in. In terms of getting parking stickers, all four of us have a car and will need stickers. Also, we are moving within a couple weeks time. I have some questions about setting up our parking situation.

The somerville website says you need a registration (Car registration?) and a utility bill with your name and address on them indicating that you live there. How anal is town hall about the proof of residence? Do you think we will be able to use the lease doc with our 4 names on it as proof of residency, or do we need to get utility bills first? (which would be a pain since probably one of us will be the named person on all the utilities)

Should we plan RMV trips to get our registrations all changed immediately?

Can each of the 4 of us get the 2 guest parking cards or is that 2 per-household?

Are any of the streets off Elm street near Davis non-resident parking friendly? (for when our friends visit)

You can change your address online (http://www.mass.gov/rmv/) so no need to go to the RMV. They mail you stickers to put on your license and registration and the parking office was fine with mine. It is a nice feature and saves a trip to the RMV where I suspect they would charge you for a new license and registration to have the information printed on it (guessing here as I always have used the online way).

When I lived in Somerville the lease with our names on it did the trick for residency.

2 guest parking cards per-household (as long as you are not on a private road then you get none).
