What are my legal options when I don&#39;t have a physical address?
<p>I have purchased some property on county land in Utah, United States.</p>
<p>The postal service doesn't service the area despite there being a decent number of people living permanently around my property. So I do not have a physical address. My neighbors get there mail &quot;general delivery&quot;. Which I believe (and I can be mistaken) means they get it delivered to the nearest post office and they pick it up in person.</p>
<p>But I am wondering how other legal things will work without an address such as driver's license, bank accounts, taxes, credit cards, vehicle registration, etc. I don't believe a PO box works for those, am I wrong?</p>
<p>The property has a lot and parcel number that I could maybe use? But I feel like a lot of the things I mentioned above wouldn't accept something like that.</p>

<p>Throughout the United States, the federal government has provided funds to state and local government to set up enhanced 911. These programs improve response to emergency calls in several ways, including improvements in addressing.</p>
<p>I'm an emergency medical technician, and have been involved with e911 for decades. Before e911, the post office and the local government each did their own thing, and the same house might have one address for the post office, and a different address for emergency response.</p>
<p>Now, that is mostly resolved, and the post office and local government are required to have a unified addressing scheme. Now, even houses that don't have postal delivery get addresses. Things that are of interest to emergency responders, but that don't receive mail, such as fire hydrants, get addresses.</p>

<p>If that doesn't answer your question, contact the fire or police department in your town. They will probably have an e911 atlas that shows your home. If not, they may assign a new address to your home.</p>
<p>However, if you just have a piece of land with no home on it (neither a permanent building, nor a mobile home), that land may not be eligible for an address.</p>
