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.
Banks require a physical address, that’s part of basic KYC (know your customer) requirements and part of anti money laundering / anti terrorism funding laws.
So they won’t accept P.O. boxes. While those mail forwarders can work, some will also blacklist them over time.
And really, ask yourself the question if you want your cards, PIN, and general correspondence about your finances mailed to a random third party where some underpaid person opens up and scans your letters all day…
Not quite sure what you mean with whitepages btw., your bank is not signing you up anywhere.
Somebody is. Either way. I don’t want to let strangers online my phone and home address. Ideally, I would want a p.o box type thing or mail forwarding. I don’t care for them scanning my packages.
If someone is putting your info into Whitepages, it’s not your bank.
