davis_squareQuestions 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)

If you don't have a bill you can also use utility install receipts. For example, if you get cable/cable Internet, they leave you with a slip after they install everything -- you can use that.
Your car must be registered to the Somerville address. You can file a change of address with the RMV and they will send you a letter and stickers to put on your current registration. You don't need to go to the RMV in person, you can change your address online. (https://www.mass.gov/secure/rmv/express/coa.htm)
Visitor placards are limited to 2 per household/address no matter how many residents. Parts of the main streets around Elm aren't resident only but most of those spots will be metered. Keep in mind that visitor permits are only good for your street and adjacent streets.
