Can I still get in-state tuition?

So I've lived in Nevada for over a year now. The problem is that I don't have any tax documents to prove that I have lived in my dad's girlfriend's house. I don't pay rent, I don't work, I graduated from a high school from out of the state. My dad didn't list me as a dependent for his tax returns, but he gave me a paper saying that I am dependent under his medical insurance. I have my license for the address for over a year. I want to pay in state tuition for the community college I am going to. Would I still need more documents? How does applying for that work? I'm hoping that my license would be just what I need

Update:

btw, I was in school. I just paid out of state tuition.

    You should go talk to the bursar's office at your school. In most states, you need to have lived in the state for a year, and *not* for the purposes of going to college, in order to qualify for in-state tuition. While you've been living in Nevada for a year, you've been going to college during that time, so I'm not sure they'll give you in-state tuition. Best to ask them, though, as the rules for this vary from state to state, and you have nothing to lose by asking.

    Nevada is lenient on in state tuition, All you would need to show them is your Nevada i.d. that shows you have had it for then a year.

    Thats the same thing with California policies.
