Hey silasfarmer. Glad to hear you're making the move.

In terms of establishing residency, there are a few options less headache inducing than a trip to the DMV. See page two of this PDF for a list of other acceptable documents: http://www.cdphe.state.co.us/hs/medi...CaregiverD.pdf

When you submit your application, the state has 35 days to notify you whether you've been approved or denied. If you don't hear from them, you're considered approved.

My interpretation of state law is once you've submitted your paperwork to the registry, you can start growing that day under an affirmative defense. Most centers won't sell to you during that period, however. If you want to shop at a center then it's imperative you send in your application via certified mail and obtain a receipt. Your 35 day clock starts there.

Feel free to post any additional questions you have. I think we've all dealt with it for so long we forget how confusing it is at first. :thumbsup::jointsmile:
