Can't find an address...

[littlebuggy]

Hello,

I can't find an old address where I lived for a short time, but I need it for listing all the addresses I've lived in the last ten years for my permanent resident application. What do I do? I've exhausted all resources looking for this thing. I have no paperwork from that era, searched my banking info, etc. What do people do in this situation? Obviously I have the state, city, country, and "From/To" dates... just not the street name, number, and zip code. Is it totally unacceptable to leave blank or perhaps just put "address unknown" or something?

Thanks!

Just add a note that you do not remember the address: that is what I did. No repercussions so far. In some cases I did remember the street and was able via Google earth to identify the building. Since you remember the country and the city you could look up a street plan of the place, which might trigger a memory?

Agreed. I had to do the same all the way back to when I was 18 !! (Thanks to the London VO...) and that was many years. Some of the places that I lived no longer exist at all, so I had to use Google Map/Street View to try and approximate. In fact, one of the paces I stayed was only for a couple of months nearly 35 years ago and I have NO idea where it was, even with the help of Google Maps. I had to omit that one as anything I put would have been guesswork.

I had the same problem. I moved nine times in nine years. I couldn't exactly remember the addresses and dates but I used google maps and wrote it down as best as a could remember ;-)

Thanks for your advice everyone. I will give google maps a try if I can stir up my memory enough to remember the street or some landmarks.
