One problem is I have no idea what physical address Apple has for me, but I'm sure I have moved at least three times (as many as five) since I gave them that address.

A better solution is require a notarized physical mail in the event of password changes for high-security accounts. Everything else just goes to your email account.

I had this problem with a website from the Australian Government. I was actually trying to login to update my address, but I didn't know the password. For that though, I was able to visit a store front and update it after providing ID. I guess Apple could do a similar thing.

Apple already prompts me to agree to new terms and conditions every few months. Surely it wouldn't be too difficult to add '...and is this still your address?'
