You still need to appear in person and pay $65 for your first one, but it requires less paperwork, including no proof of residential address, and it is possible to apply at many rural post offices ...

I am respectfully asking the powers that be to please get some thinking people to address this form requirement and make some common-sense changes. The overkill is unfair to the applicants.
