And, it doesn't matter if you are a homeowner or a renter.
Of course renter v owner is a non-issue when establishing residency. Good to know the SC website is accurate - somewhat! Knowing they have the SC residents only policy as stated, yet are willing to waive it if not busy is good customer service, something we know doesn't always exist. I was v impressed with the speed and professionalism of the entire process. Was surprised how many were turned away bc they did not have 2 pieces of mail with FL address - that requirement and what satisfies it are clearly stated on the website, apparently some think they can "get by". They can't. I read that and ordered my SECO a month in advance to start on X date so I'd have the letter in time.
