Membership application locked by zip code, even if you qualify based on "work, worship, or study" in a qualifying county. This membership application appears to have a hard geo fence.
OOS Fail on this one. eligibility chosen was for family in WA which was at the beginning of the application but they didn't ask for the name. I put all the personal info in the application and used a link to verify DL and did a selfie. It went back to the application and then got a message 'zipcode not in the area' or something like that. It wouldn't proceed after that. No chex pull notification or hard pull either.
