What do digital nomads list as their mailing / permanent home address for their job, credit cards, bank, etc for state/federal taxation and healthcare benefits as well as passport/state identification?
If you sell your house or move out of your primary residence and become a nomad then what do you list as your mailing address for your bank, state issued identification – all that sort of stuff? Do you pay state taxes and if so how?

It’s possible to rent a post office box, either in a fixed location that you return to regularly or near wherever you happen to be at the time. If that sounds like a huge pain, then you’re right. Being constantly on the move is going to make it inherently difficult to have a physical object (mail, packages, etc.) sent to where you are.
Most official documents don’t particularly care if the address on them is outdated. State and local taxes, however, could potentially be a headache. US states generally tax based on place of residence, not place of employment. In principle, you would have to file an income tax return in every state you did any work in. In practice, you might just file taxes in some nominal state of residence (perhaps the one with your PO box) and hope for the best.
