Why You Need a Legal US or Canadian Mailing Address When Living in Mexico
There is a very good chance that you will need to maintain a “legal address” in the US or Canada for all sorts of things, including for credit cards, ATM cards, and banking institutions. You could use your sister-in-law’s, or your good friend’s, or one of the mail forwarding companies.
Please be aware that there are many US financial and other institutions that will not accept a permanent address outside the US and if they find that you do live outside the US, may even cancel your account. (Most people just give them another US address.)
- Decide what will be your legal US or Canadian address.
- You may want to use a service that will accept your mail in the US or Canada, scan it, and then hold or forward whatever you need.
