Title: Reference Questionnaire
Post by: Aedimus on December 14, 2015, 06:50:06 PM: I know that I can not use any family members as a reference. But I had a few questions I just wasn't sure about. I moved back to Delaware about 3 1/2 years ago so I was wondering if using my neighbors (husband and wife) would cause any issues since I have only known them for 3 1/2 years. Also could I used someone that lives with me but is not a family member as a reference. Or for that matter someone that lives with a family member but is not a member of the family (ie live in friend / boyfriend / girlfriend).

Perhaps I'm mistaken. Either way, my personal quest for 5 NCC references continues.

Have the reference questionnaire completed by five (5) citizens from the County in which you reside.  The citizen cannot be related or reside at the same address.

I went to our neighbors place one evening, had a coffee and they both (husband & wife) filled out our questionnaire forms. I popped over to another neighbors home where a 3rd neighbor was also visiting. The husband and wife as well as the 3rd neighbor filled out the remaining 3 forms. All 5 references done in 2 hours over coffee and chat.
