I’ve heard of things like iPostal and Traveling Mailbox. Do these services allow you to register with bank, DMV, IRS, Voting, etc? How do they work? Would a normal P.O box using its physical address from USPS work? I’ve tried researching it and haven’t gotten clear answers.

I don’t want to show up on those whitepages sites with all my information on them. I want to stop it from the start.

      If you’re paying property taxes, you’re going to be in a database. At least here in Texas, all addresses (home, business, empty land) are in the county’s appraisal and tax database that’s publicly searchable.

        Depending on your state a bunch of homeowner tax data is freely available online

          Right, and the data in Texas contains your address and name attached to it. It’s all public, you can’t avoid it. I don’t know about other states but I assume it’s the same

      You can get loans through Aave On ETH, Polygon, etc, But yeah, buying a home would be a bit difficult.
