I've used Post Office boxes since 1976, when I moved to a rural area ... I have had several in different cities, since (I was a longhaul truckdriver) ... originally, you just rented it, no big deal, but a few years ago, for crime-fighting purposes, they started requiring the evidence of a physical address, to obtain the PO box ... they will send a letter to the address you write down, then you have to return the received letter to the Post Office, to prove you 'live' there ... after that, you can mover wherever you want, they only want a 'starting point' to track you down, if necessary ... hope this helps ... :smokin:
