What is an Alternate Address?
An alternate address can be used, in addition to a primary or permanent address, as an additional point of contact for various reasons, offering flexibility and convenience in managing communications and deliveries.
People may designate an alternate address for specific purposes, such as receiving packages, safeguarding privacy, or redirecting mail during temporary periods of residence.
One common use for an alternate address is during vacations or business trips. Individuals may provide an alternate address to ensure the safe delivery of packages or important documents while they are away from their primary residence. This helps maintain accessibility to essential items and information even when the person is temporarily located elsewhere.
Privacy considerations also drive the use of alternate addresses. Some individuals, especially those seeking to keep their primary residence confidential, may opt for an alternate address to receive mail and packages discreetly. This is particularly relevant for public figures, celebrities, or individuals with security concerns.
Anytime Mailbox is an excellent option for an alternate address. It allows individuals to receive and manage mail digitally, providing a secure and flexible solution for handling communications at alternate locations. With features like mail forwarding and online access, a virtual mailbox enhances the convenience and privacy associated with having an alternate address.

I purchased a mailbox to establish a business address for my home-based web design company. It was quick and straightforward, including the interaction with a notary online. I now have an excellent-looking address!

Great way to live abroad or be nomadic and keep your mail in one spot. We use our mailbox for an LLC and have been happy with the mail forwarding when we need to have something sent to us.
Shane H.
Starting my own business and wanted a solid address that was not a PO box address, I would take the time to look into this as an option as a business owner. Perfect for what I needed!
Devin B.
As my main office is at home, the service provides me with a separate discrete mailing address that protects my home privacy, while giving me a “physical” address for my mail. It’s been an amazing tool for my business.
Matt H.
Service is quick, and the cost is fair. I’m a small business owner so this seemed right up my alley in terms of what I needed. Cost and reliability based on reviews. Needed something that was cheap and cost-effective.

Frequently Asked Questions on an Alternate Address
What is the alternate address?
The alternate address is an extra information field that should be used when the primary address doesn’t apply, such as if you have a P.O. Box or virtual mailbox. This should be filled in instead of the primary address.
What can I use if I don’t have an address?
Renting a P.O. Box or Virtual Mailbox is the best option if you don’t have an address – head down to your local post office or visit AnytimeMailbox.com to receive mail without giving out your home address.
How do I get mail if I don’t have an address?
If you don’t have an address, you can have your mail delivered to General Delivery at your local post office, rent a P.O. box, try a co-working space, or simply obtain a virtual mailbox with Anytime Mailbox.
What does permanent resident at an address mean?
Being a permanent resident at a certain address implies that one has made the address their permanent residence in order to be considered a resident for income tax purposes. This excludes financial institutions, post office boxes, and addresses only used for mailing.
