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.

    Dude I just don’t want my name, phone number, and address all over the public web. Why am I getting so much hate for this?

      It won’t be, at worst it will be passed around a bunch of marketing companies sending you a bunch of pointless junk mail. And that’s really only if you go to a shitty bank.

      Because not giving the bank your contact information will accomplish exactly nothing to that affect, and it makes you sound delusional and paranoid.

      I think this question generates so much hate because it makes the privacy-concerned audience realize there is actually little hope for privacy in our society in its current state.
