    So here's the deal. I'm living in an apartment at the moment and am looking for a small house to buy. My license however, and pretty much anything else in my name, is using my dad's address that he has been living at for the last 20 years. I have my license, medical card, bank account, car registration, and the address my employer has all under my dad's address. My dad's house is approximately 80 miles away from my apartment.

    Reason I'm wondering honestly is just because I'm lazy. I don't want to change my address for all these different accounts when I'm going to be changing it again down the road.

    So am I good? or will I still get in trouble for this?

    You'll be fine. I currently have a different address on my license than where I physically live.

    I wouldn't change it until you have your own place purchased...your dad can collect your mail for you...what would cause you a problem is if mail from the DMV were returned.

    Pretty sure you'll be ok. In Wis. they won't accept a P.O. box, it has to be a regular address, even if it's just a mailing address.

    All the mail is going to your dads house so I would leave it as is.
