Common Rejection Reasons

8 documented for Lighthouse Point. Our AI flags all of these.

1Insurance cert holder MUST read EXACTLY: 'City of Lighthouse Point / 3701 NE 22nd Avenue / Lighthouse Point, FL 33064' — the FAQ says '22 Avenue' but the PDF says '22nd Avenue'. USE THE PDF VERSION or registration will be rejected.
