If your college student wants to vote, s/he should check the rules beforehand

I don’t think any state allows you to register and vote without ANY type of check as to residency. Many do not require an official picture ID, but do require something like a utility bill, or you register and they send you a voter’s card. The secretary of state or registrar has a check system.

In California, any checking is done behind the scenes. Utility bills and such are not required to either register or vote.
