Spanish term or phrase: viven
Context: This comes from a Mexican birth certificate

Abuelos paternos: [handwritten:], Fulano X and Fulana Y, mexicanos, viven [typewritten:] con domicilio en Cruz del Sur yada yada yada

Should I write "alive" or "they live at" or something else?

Thanks for any suggestions.
