(b) Residential address;
(c) Date of birth;
(d) A signature attesting to the truth of the information provided on the application; and

(2) The residential address provided must identify the actual physical residence of the voter in Washington, as defined in RCW 29A.04.151, with detail sufficient to allow the voter to be assigned to the proper precinct and to locate the voter to confirm his or her residence for purposes of verifying qualification to vote under Article VI, section 1 of the state Constitution. A residential address may be either a traditional address or a nontraditional address.

A nontraditional address consists of a narrative description of the location of the voter's residence, and may be used when a traditional address has not been assigned to the voter's residence.
(3) In addition to the information required on the application, all applicants must provide a legally valid photo identification including, but not limited to, any one of the following:
(a) Washington state driver's license;
