Mailing address, residence and domicile
A mailing address tells a sender where to deliver correspondence. A residential address describes a place associated with living arrangements. Domicile concerns the home you intend to maintain permanently. Tax residence is evaluated under the applicable rules. Ask which role each address is intended to serve.
Understand what you are buying
- Mail service: receiving, scanning, holding and forwarding correspondence.

- Professional advice: an individual assessment from a qualified tax or legal adviser.
What a Declaration of Domicile records
Florida Statutes §222.17 describes a sworn statement used to evidence a domicile a person has established. Read the form before signing. The statements about residence, a place of abode and intention need to be true for you.
How to compare provider language
Ask a provider to explain the address arrangement and the supporting documents available. Ask which documents exist, what they say, and which address receives mail. Then check the requirements of the institution reviewing your information.
Keep a practical record
Save the written service description and copies of your own completed records. If an institution asks where you physically live, answer that question directly rather than substituting a mailing address.
