Why is my residential address in Texas but my mailing address is in Florida?

Written by Bo

When you choose Texas as your domicile state, SavvyNomad provides you with two addresses: a residential address in Rockport, Texas and a mailing address at our mail-handling facility in Brandon, Florida. Here's why they're in different states and how to use each one.

Your Texas residential address

Your residential address establishes your legal domicile in Texas. It is intended only for use with official government and financial purposes, including:

  • Your Texas driver's license or state ID

  • Payroll and employment

  • Taxes

  • Insurance

  • Vehicle registration

  • Banks and other financial institutions

We can still receive any mail item — other than packages — at your Texas residential address. However, because the residential address is reserved primarily for official use, there can be a delay of up to 10 business days before that mail is uploaded to your account. For everyday mail and shipments, use your Florida mailing address, where mail is processed faster and packages can be accepted.

Your Florida mailing address

Your mailing address is located at our mail-processing facility in Brandon, Florida. Use it for everyday mail, online shopping, shipments, and anything that isn't an official government or financial document. All mail forwarding, scanning, and in-person package pickup take place here.

We keep mail handling centralized at our Florida facility so that every customer — no matter which state they're domiciled in — receives the same fast, reliable mail forwarding, scanning, and package service. Your Texas domicile is fully established through your residential address; your mailing address simply determines where your physical mail is received and processed.

In short: use your Texas residential address for official government and financial matters, and your Florida mailing address for everything else.
