Street Parking in Berkeley?

Hello!

I recently graduated from Cal Poly SLO and am moving up to Berkeley next month.

I found out that in order to actually park on the street, I need to have a permit from the city. I looked into it, and in order to get one I need to have the Berkeley address on BOTH my driver’s license and my car’s registration. Being a recent college grad that’s new to the area, I don’t have either ( and would prefer not to change them).

I was wondering what Berkeley students that live off-campus do in terms of overnight parking. Is there another way to show the city that you are an actual resident in order to get the street permit?

Thank you for your input!
