Falsifying a work permit to prove residency is forbidden (). One must repent from it by feeling remorse, seeking forgiveness (istighfar), and resolving not to return to it. The teacher should inquire with the employer about the residency requirement. If the intention is for her to reside in the area and perform the work as required, then there is no blame upon her. Otherwise, she must cease this action unless the employer makes an exception for her.
