To locate old addresses, look up

• SAT, ACT or similar test score reports
• shipping addresses saved in online retailers (Amazon.com)
• high school and undergraduate transcripts and/or report cards
• utility providers; if you had utilities in your name, check with service providers for all of the addresses at which you had service
• tax returns and pay stubs (see Tax Returns tab)
• credit report

Finally, you can check free people search websites. Keep in mind, these websites index only freely accessible public information, so if you did not include your full name in a utility application, or had your information removed from the white pages, or have a "common" name, the results may not be about you.

Remembering where you lived since you were 16 years old can be simple or difficult depending on your personal history.

Keep in mind that detailed address information is only required for the past three years.

Think outside the box to search for your addresses. Consider at least these sources:

• Social Security should have this information.
• Old employers.
• Prior schools and corresponding transcripts.
• Your credit history and report.
• Your bank.
• Even FIU keeps some of this on file, for example if you moved since applying.
• Your parents and friends.
• Voter registration records.

All of these resources can help you remember where you lived.
