Residency, mail, and a physical address
Kathy O:
Thanks for the responses path and Jim. That mail service stated it correctly. There are no statewide requirements for emissions testing in Oregon for cars, just in the Portland and Medford metropolitan areas. Unfortunately, my car is still registered at an address that is part of the Portland area. The mail service you refer to, path, is located in a small town that doesn't require it. Thanks for the tip. I'll check them out with the BBB. Washington is much stricter than Oregon in almost everything, so I'm surprised to see the exemption if you're homeless. Yes, it's there in black and white. I did ask the Oregon DMV guy what people do if they're homeless, and he said they use a homeless shelter as their address. I think I'll go with the mail service. ;D
Kathy O:
Ha! I just found this list of mail services. http://www.myrvparks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2475
It also includes the one in Jefferson.

Something I discovered was that vehicle insurance would be affected by my physical address. I am lucky to have a son whose home I will use and who will act as my mail forwarding service, but without that, I would have to establish some address so that my insurance would not get cancelled if they found out I had left my previous residence.
I am moving, putting my stuff in storage, and starting to full-time in 5 weeks, so the first thing I will do after I move my stuff is to apply for a new driver's license and notify my insurance company of my address change.

Go paperless on everything. My question is what mail? Pay all bills online and opt for them to send you email notices vs letter notices. I efile my taxes with direct deposit refunds. Direct deposit all incoming funds. I would have to hunt for my check book. I know it is in the MH somewhere. I check my bank accounts nearly daily (not on open wifi networks)
I can forsee only one thing that I need to have mailed to an address and that is the little sticker for the tags when they are renewed. I always renew for as many years as possible to minimize this.
I use my Dads address as my address. I vote absentee, maintain my drivers license there, good for another 8 or 10 years, and have my car and MH insurance there.

If you have your vehicle insurance(s) with National Interstate, you can get all your documents (quotes, invoices, polices) online.
