Im gonna live in my cave in J Tree this wintertime no matter what yous say (I left a cooler buried in a crack in a rock backside my cave, I gotta go back!). Anyway, with the passing of my Dad, I no longer have that user-friendly home base to rely on. So my questions are: 1. What do you practise for an address? This seems to be the almost confusing. I dont know what state I am a resident of, if any? I have a Montana drivers license from when I lived out there but have since moved from the address on my license. Is it fraud to just get ahead and use that address anyhow and register in Montana? I mean I DID live at that place at one point.. 2. How exercise you register a car? Accept to exist resident in state where you lot register? Ideally I'd like to pick a state that averages lower car insurance rates than others. Im sure other questions will arise, but thats where Im at now. I inherited my Dad'due south 06 Borough and volition now need to transfer the championship to me and to register it and all that. 1 Flag Quote

When I used the "I don't have a fixed residence" line, near people (state, insurance co, etc) would tell me they can't assistance me. This requires a friend in a fairly stock-still location nearby. You lot tin annals out of state and it is an absolute hurting. It took me several telephone calls to have the plates sent to a hotel. Call upwards the DMV and get instructions from them. Tell them you're working out of state or such and they'll permit yous send in a pre-addressed/paid package with your cashier's check and mail your plates back. I call up the requirements for a resident are something like an address in state, employment, and billing statement. It varies though. The state website should have the requirements on their website. -- My style was a bit easier than a cave though as I was in higher (engineer) at the fourth dimension and had admission to computer labs, lounges, and rec centers for showers. 1 Flag Quote

In NH when my girlfriend moved in with me and wanted to register her car (its registered locally via town offices and she was already a NH resident) I really had to go her a notarized letter stating she lived with me. Otherwise you need a pay stub, utility pecker, etc with an address. For five winters I lived in Colorado and couldn't even hire a mail service office box to have mail forwarded since I wasn't a resident (was working remotely). Solved that problem by having all my post forwarded to "full general delivery" with my proper noun and it got held at the post function for pick up. two Flag Quote

Register your car and insurance to your new PO (pretty certain you can practice this in CA). Don't worry about changing your accost on your licence unless information technology is going to expire soon. I've herd of people using the mail service part address as there residency. Fill out your address with the PO box just remove the words "PO box" from the address, just include the actual number. ii Flag Quote

	Muscrat · Aug 10, 2015 · Unknown Hometown · Joined Oct 2011 · Points: 3,625 A couple of points. Remember that while you are in J-tree National Park, you are Non in California y'all are on National Park Property. (your 215 is non valid, etc.). Park rangers are less inclined to hassle about you lot state reg. Simply...they are wise to cars that accept been in the park more than the 2 weeks allowed, they are writing license plates down and enforcing the 2 week menstruation. This from experience. And the state of California,(outside the park) on the other hand, is very aggressive almost out of state registrations, and if they note a car hanging effectually a lot, volition endeavor to get you to acknowledge that you are on the route, don't live in (fill up in the blank) state. Has to do with smog checks and registration fees. J-tree has the final couple of years really cracked downward on the long term visitor, and enforce it hard. Actually checking plates at entrance!? If you tin afford it ($100 +/-) renters insurance is really worth having. Why not just transfer championship in country where your dad lived? Piece of cake if you lot are executor. Sorry about your dad, btw. ¢.02 four Flag Quote

In my experience, the post office volition crave proof of a physical accost before they will allow you open a PO box (charter/rental agreement, utility bill, etc.). Do you accept a friend who will allow you use his/her address for things like receiving post, registering your car, etc., etc.? Ideally you could use the friend's address to open a PO box, then yous could utilise the PO box for everything. 2 Flag Quote

Not sure nigh this. Similar someone said earlier, you need to have proof of residency in the area to get a PO Box. If y'all are dirtbagging, yous don't want to spend money on stuff unrelated to climbing. General delivery is complimentary, and while they will merely hold things for that length of fourth dimension, you lot tin continue to get packages sent via GD as long as you want. I take been living in my surface area for a while at present. For the beginning twelvemonth, nosotros used GD. The merely reason we got a PO Box is because in one case we started renting proper we were able to go it for gratis. 1 Flag Quote

Some states will crave you to notify them when the car is put into storage, otherwise you volition exist liable for all the late/overdue registration fees. This is to stop people from driving unregistered cars around for a while, then re-registering them when they get some cash or all the unpaid parking tickets have aged out of the DMV's records. 0 Flag Quote

UPS offers "Private Mail" boxes that you lot can setup without a concrete address, yous just demand 2 different id'southward (i.e DL, Passport, phone bill ect.). Its fifty-fifty better than a USPS PO box, they give y'all a physical address rather than a number and you lot tin can ship anything to it. It'southward primarily for businesses just not limited to. 0 Flag Quote

Most of the addresses for them won't even indicate what the identify is, it will await almost like an flat address: 123 Sesame Street, #301, etc. There are online companies that can exercise this for you. Basically, you pay them $20 a month or so, they give you an address, and any mail that comes to them is scanned and you can view it online. And then you can choose to destroy the mail or have it forwarded elsewhere. I did this for the first year I was dirtbagging. Nevertheless, as with a PO box, y'all typically need two forms of ID to prove yous are who you say you are. Later the first year I learned that paying for any type of address or PO box is a waste product of money. Simply employ your parent's address as your official address, or any accost you have on your commuter's license. Registering a vehicle tin can be easy or hard depending on the state. Some states allow you register a vehicle out of state with no issues, others not so much. If I recall right, Montana is a country which is known to exist very friendly to people who are mobile in nature. You can merits MT every bit your legal residence without ever stepping foot in the state. Y'all might want to await into the MT DMV. Search RV forums. Tons of info on this on RV forums. 2 Flag Quote
	Happiegrrrl · Aug eleven, 2015 · Gunks · Joined Dec 2005 · Points: 60 The accost thing is probably the near difficult for me. I've lived in a place with no mailing address for 6 years and though I actually get very fiddling mail service, one often must provide an address when doing things. Maybe for some people this wont come up much, but for me it does. I purchase art supplies, and demand return address for items I accept sold and am shipping out. One does not want to be "changing address" on any sort of regular basis. Internet passwords are bad plenty to remember, just I would forget which address I used if I hadn't had the same ane for the elapsing. It is a local friend'due south address, and they hold the mail in a bin and I pick information technology upwardly on occasion. If I am "expecting something,"9debit/credit card renewal, insurance bill of fare, tax data etc.) I effort to requite a heads upwards and follow up. Nonetheless, there have been a few times when an expected item goes missing. Sucks. I would suggest using the dwelling of a reliable relative who will probable stay at the same residence long tern, if possible. When I am on the road, if I take someone whose residence I can have items sent to, I ask their permission and practise that. But I do non assume their address. I accept it sent to me "Intendance Of" the person at their accost. A post part box is nice, simply you lot demand someone to go check it as needed. And yes, the postal service office requires proof of residence to have the box. Equally said, mail from a PO box or address tin become forwarded to a different address as needed. But having this done through the postal service office(Mail Forwarding, not the same as Change of Address forwarding) is not cheap. Helpful Hint: Do any y'all can via online(assuming yous regularly access it). Larn about security and how to avoid getting your accounts compromised. Krebsonsecurity.com is a blog that is lay-person friendly(and hilarious or scary, depending, when hackers start posting in the comments) and can provide a adept education 0 Flag Quote
