Options:
[A] The new client is a personal friend of the RR who will be in charge of overseeing the new account.
[B] The new client agrees to provide a real address of a home or business, even though he insists that all correspondence be sent to the P.O. Box.
[C] The new client submits a written statement stating that for convenience purposes, he only uses a P.O. Box for all correspondence.
[D] The new client tells the RR and the BOM that he has not yet established a place of residence in the area and that the P.O. Box is the only fixed address he can give.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Unless the new client provides a real address (either home or office), the account cannot be opened. FINRA regulations do not consider a P.O. Box as an acceptable residential address. The RR can send all the correspondence to the P.O. Box if the client requests it, but the client must still provide a real home or business address.
