domain-registration

I tried to register a .pm domain from ovh.co.uk, but they e-mailed me saying they want valid proof that I am a resident of the United Kingdom. I currently live in the United States though.

I am aware that I have to be a resident. That's not the question I'm asking. I want to know if it's possible, whether through some website that will get residency or some 'hacking' method, to register the domain I am interested in without having to physically be a resident of the country.

I will try and find out if ovh.co.uk will charge me an extra fee, but until then I am curious to know if there is any way I could do this.

Also, is there any other website I could purchase .pm domains from?
