Answer 2

You need to go to your local US Post Office and apply for a PO Box. You will need to bring in Proof of Residency, and something like a utility bill. This has to be in YOUR name showing a physical street address.

I think the smallest boxes run about $30 for 6 months.

I think places like the UPS Store does this but their requiremets are probably the same.

Having no Credit history will not effect getting a PO Box, unless you have no utilities in your name. But it will effect getting a credit card. You might have to start off with something like a secured card.

Answer 3

You would need to use a permanent address, such as your parents' address. Having no credit history may make it difficult, but you could also try to get a secured credit card at your bank.

Answer 4

A free consumer site at http://www.bad-credit-credit-card-for-people-with-bad-credit.info/ has a list of credit card companies, both secure and unsecured, that issue credit cards to people with bad to no credit.

Answer 5

thank the u . s . a . PATRIOT act for this, too.... companies would desire to verify the truthfully actual handle. i've got no longer yet met every person that lives interior their PO field. That reported, you are able to checklist a PO field as a mailing handle the place you like your mail to be sent (such as notices).

Answer 6

You might be able to rent a mail box at MailBoxes etc. Got to mbe.com. I am sure they have locations in the Atlanta area.
