Can someone compete (and sign up for)enter a BJJ competition one belt higher level than their current rank?

So for example, if someone is a blue belt and has been for years, but travels around a lot, has no regular club (and so can't get promoted presently) and has won many gold medals at blue belt, could they sign up for a competition at purple belt (whilst still wearing their blue belt).?

Please note this refers to gi competition only and I'm generally referring to competitions/tournaments that follow IBJJF rules.
