Attach your government ID.
Call it even. Take screen shots.
If you have problem, get a lawyer.
PA LTCF are issued by the County. It is supposed to be your county of residence. Granted, some counties are quicker than others.
What is there to stop a Philadelphia resident from applying for a LTCF by changing their DL to a more advantageous County by using a family member or friends address ? There is a reason proof of residency, other than a government ID is required.

Okay, excellent. Thanks for the clarification.

Their signup online specifically only mentions bills addressed to myself.

Isn't a drivers license good enough?

How about your auto insurance card.
Re: CCW Proof of Residency Validity
Update: As my license renewal was issued less than six months ago they are requiring these proofs of residency. As per email:
"Your License to Carry application has been withdrawn.
Application withdrawn due to lack of "proof of residency" requirements. Due to your current license/ID being within 6 months of its issue date you will need to upload 2 of the following. These are the ONLY accepted documents per the state.
- Mortgage Statement
- Lease Agreement
- Water
- Sewer
- Gas
- Electric
- Cable
- Internet
- House Phone or Cell Phone
Your application fees will be refunded."
Frustrating but understandable precaution.
Re: CCW Proof of Residency Validity
Wait a minute...They're telling you that because you just renewed your existing license that now you have to do this other shit? I was under the impression that all you needed was a PA DL and you were good to go. This is the first I'm hearing anything on a hold of any sort for 6 months. I guess I need some learning up.

Bucks county usually 15 minutes in and out for me, although it was two years ago last time I did it. I also filled the form out at home and bought it with me.

Except that it's NOT required by statute, and the sheriff has no authority to impose it. The application requires DL information and address. Period. No leases, no utility bills.
The scenario you presented (and all other "what abouts") are cover by the applicant's signature affirming the accuracy of the information provided.
Sheriff's can't impose new conditions in an attempt to thwart fraud. Regardless of good intention, they simply do not have that authority, and that fact is long-established, and supported by the outcomes of lawsuits challenging this very type of behavior.
