I am in Grad school at NCSU.
My permanent residence in in Meck County, and has been so for 13 years.
My question comes in here: I have lived in various locations in Wake county for the last 7 years. I would like to get my CCH and have already taken the course. I would preffer to have the apt. made with the sherrif here in Raleigh as opposed to Charlotte.

What is needed for residency requirements? I have been at two addresses for 5 years now. All of my bills are sent to charlotte. All that comes to my raleigh address is magazines and catalogs. Would something from the university with my local address work?

Thanks for any input.

This is what is on the Sheriff's website. It doesn't mention a county residency requirement, only the requirement that you be a resident of the state for 30 days. If your driver's license lists a Wake County address, I would think that it would suffice to show you reside in the county. If it lists Charlotte as your address, then you may have a problem. You will need some documentation showing that you actually reside in Wake County. Do you have a lease on where you are living, a utility bill or anything that shows you are living in Wake County?
