UCs ask:
Where you/parents have file tax returns for the past 3 years?
Where are you/parents registered to vote, when did you last vote?
Where do you/parentd have a driver’s license, when did you last renew it?
How long have you been CA residents?
Have any of you been out of state for more that 6 weeks in the past 12 months- i.e., are you only here for the school year and you go “home” on breaks?

It is pretty comprehensive. My D has a friend whose dad is a CA resident, but mom lives in anaohter state, the girl pays OOS fees because she graduated from high school while living with mom- that is her state of residence.

I would not recommend cheating/lying, though you could have an unusual family situation which might not meet every condition yet still qualify. In that case, simply call and talk to them to ask about your situation.
