I really don't know. I've applied online myself but for everything.
You can apply either online or in the office. Or apply online and then go to the office and finish the process. Trust me though, going into the office to initially apply will make everything take far less time to complete the process. The workers there already know the proccess and the numerous small gotchas that would otherwise delay and complicate the application process. A visit to this branch is usually pretty quick too.
Yes you can apply online
