The dealer in Hadley, MA has cut my father keys for his '98 Outback before, and all they needed was the registration (for the VIN and proof that it was his vehicle). He also just got worn copies of copies with his, and they were so bad they didn't even turn well in the locks.
The closer dealer apparently couldn't do it, so I guess it depends where you go.
