| 76. How is he defrauding the state? |
|
What rules say you have to look in your local area? I've never seen any geographical restrictions.
Also, if you are required to apply for 6, where does it say you can't apply for more?
You may do it all in person, but what are the state's requirements. Are you allowed to apply online? As long as you have confirmation, such as a thank you for applying email, how is that not legitimate. Heck, it's easier to have documentation applying online rather than in person.
