How about just never changing your address? I use Virtual Post Mail but there a a bunch of companies offering virtual mailing addresses. I couldn't be happier.

We have this in The Netherlands, it's called the "basic city records", but is for government services, churches and some other basics.

Oh, and the mail company has a service to forward your mail, and change your addresses for various companies when you move. Part of the deal...

I'd combine this, the grandparent's post, and the example given in the original post (along with it's inverse, making physical mail available digitally,) into the ultimate personal correspondence service.

Almost sounds like how a credit report can work. I've had my current address appear on mine without any effort on my own part. Once one company gets it, it seems to propagate.

I think https://www.trustfabric.com/ does that.

In an ideal world this information would be stored in an OpenID attribute.
