Default LTCF Residence Question

I'm new here and have a question. I live in Centre County (student at PSU) but my legal residence is in Warren County. Can I apply for my LTCF in Centre County or do I need to head back to Warren to do it? I've tried looking but can't seem to find any information directly relating to this.


Thanks,
Tim

If your legal address is in Warren County, I believe you'd have to apply at the sheriffs office there. I had to do the same when I went to Clarion but perm. address was in Mercer county.

Yes, would have to be Warren Co. in your case.

TITLE 18

The Centre County Sheriff in Bellefonte will issue permits to students in your situation. I just got mine recently and was in the same situation (non Centre County PA driver's license) and it is no problem, just keep in mind the address on your application and permit will have to be a Centre County address.

I know this goes against what everyone else said, and I was surprised too.

This may be a little obvious but did you ever think of calling Sheriff Nau and asking him?

Denny is a good guy. If you can show Centre Co. res. (Util. bills, Rent Recpts. ) He'll issue to you even without a Centre Co. address on your Pa. Lic. Call and ask if you have any questions, they are always helpful on these issues.

You guys were absolutely right. Went up to the Sheriff's office this afternoon and walked out 10 minutes later with my LTCF.
