Portable Addresses

One creative American had an idea that could transform the postal industry.

"Introduce 'address for life' code numbers to everyone in the country. People could register their current address with the post office such that letters addressed with the code number will be forwarded from the post office. In addition to offering everyone PO Box-style privacy, the system would come into its own when people move houses and need only to notify the post office of their new address."
