I’m wondering something. I live and work in state X. My car is registered there and my driver’s license has that address. On most of the weekends for the next 5-7 months I’m going to be staying with friends in another state.
I use online banking to pay my bills and normally do everything on the weekend. I get all my bills electronically and really only go through my postal mail every two to three weeks.
Is it possible for me to contact the places I have accounts with and ask them to change my address to my friends? I ** [SIZE=5]DO NOT WANT **[/SIZE]to have to change my address with the DMV or my Car Insurance Carrier.
Let’s assume as an additional data point that I will be leaving my car garaged in state X and taking mass transit to my friend’s location.
OK, perhaps I’m not understanding something… but on the assumption that Monday through Friday, you’re going to be at your house in Anytown, X, why not just collect the mail on your kitchen counter through the week, and then, on Friday afternoon, just before you hop in the car, pick up the collected mail, throw it in the passenger seat, and review it at your leisure at your friends’ house over the weekend?
ETA: Oh, I see the passenger seat option is out. Well, substitute “on the train” for “in the car” and “messenger bag” for “passenger seat.”
I’m currently living with my relatives. They have a tendency to accidentally open the mail that i get sent there. I have an opportunity for the next four months to house sit my friend’s house which is 10 minutes from where I work during the week.
It is easier for me to go right to my friend in the other state from the house that I’m house sitting at then it is for me to go from there to my home then to my friend.
I don’t want to change my address to the house I will be house sitting at because it is not as good an area as I live now.
I was unsure if I could open a post office box in a different state than my primary address and I’m trying to NOT create a situation where the other state can say I’m a resident for tax purposes.
