The people who do live at the address in question have been there 8 or 9 years and have never heard of the person who supposedly lived there in 2002 when the license was issued.

I have called the broker about this and I won't mention their name, since I seriously doubt they were involved. But it leaves you wondering how much faith you can put in these records, even when you can get them. And who will be held responsible if it turns out they are fakes?

And BTW, the new regs state that records must be kept from day 1, along with copies of your (changed) pages. Which means you would be taking a big risk displaying content from someone who has not supplied the required documents by June 23. If they never do, then unless the law is eventually overturned, even an inspection 5 years from now could put you in big trouble.
Ever post you make is amazing.
