Every public university should post its guidelines on domicility or residency. Everything gets confirmed for financial aid since you are ultimately charged tuition. I'd check the websites and/or financial aid at your desired programs.
I know for North Carolina schools you have to fill out a form through the NC Residency Determination Service (they’re kinda like some FAFSA forms) and it generates a specific code that each NC school asks for that proves whether you’re a resident of the state or not. Other states might have something like that, but you’d have to research it. I dunno how other states do it, but that’s how NC does. Sometimes you can also prove residency in another state if your parents were supporting you financially, regardless of marital status.
I’ve also heard residency in some states isn’t granted until you’ve lived in the state for at least a year. Some states also won’t grant you residency (to get that in-state tuition) if you only went there to study and weren’t living/working there before.
I’ve had friends do the “use someone else’s permanent address in another state” to try to get into those state schools and I have a feeling they saw right through that. They had great stats and applied early and everything, but didn’t have any interviews at any of those schools. Just my 2¢.
