Current Address and Permanent address help

<p>There is a section in the commonapp for the permanent address and current/mailing address.
But, since I live abroad, and my dad at the states, I wanted the acceptance letters to be mailed to him. However, I haven't lived in the address he resides in. Would I be breaking any laws if I make the current/mailing address my dad's address, and make up the amount of time that I lived there??</p>

<p>You should not lie about your address (or anything else). For most colleges, you can access decisions by logging on to their website or by checking your email, so a mailing address is really irrelevant.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot! I had no intention of lying but since the decisions are sent by e-mail, I should have no problem.
How do i know for sure if some colleges do or do not provide decisions online?</p>
