Residency, mail, and a physical address

(1/8) > >>

surfingbodi:
I have to keep New Mexico as my state of residence due to my custody issues.  However, while this will be our home base, I will not have a true permanent physical address.  My concern is regarding those times when I must provide a physical address other than a P.O. Box and how I will keep up with my mail that must come to a physical address and/or just getting my mail as I move about.

How do fulltimers deal with this?  What address do you put on your license if you do not have a permanent physical address?

Most full timers use a mail forwarding service.  We use the Escapees, as do many others, but you can also get an address equivalent to a physical street address from other mailing services.  The service then forwards your mail on a schedule you set to wherever you are at the time.  I'm sure a search here on mail forwarding will turn up lots of additional information.

Wendy:
We use a local place similar to a UPS store. They have a physical address and we have a mail box there. They forward our mail whenever we ask them to wherever we want it sent. Works great.

surfingbodi:
Thank you very much Ned and Wendy!

We were residents of Washington when I retired and had planned on remaining so when we started full timing but ran into Washington's domicile/ residency requirements. We had to have a physical address and the state would not accept mail services to meet that requirement. it had to do with vehicle registrations outside the Seattle metro tax area but I talked to quite a few state agencies and could not come up with a legal way to get around the rules.


I mention this to suggest that you make sure NM will allow what you want. I know of several states that have this requiremnt. They go as far a requiring a utility bill, etc to show you in fact have a physical address.
