Why stay tied to a high-tax state when you travel full-time?

If you’re a full-time RVer, a traveling medical professional, belong to an escapees club, a digital nomad, or a retiree without a consistent physical address, you’ll inevitably need a way to receive your mail and a state to establish residency in.

First, where will you have your mail sent? Look no further than our secure and economical virtual mailbox service. Let us manage your mail and save you time and money. 

Second, where will you pay your state taxes? While it might seem obvious to pay taxes in the state where you were living before you became location-independent — and ask a friend or neighbor to be the steward of your mail — the solution that can save you money in taxes is right under your nose: become a South Dakota resident.

Secure your physical address in South Dakota.

When you sign up for our secure mail forwarding program for a minimum of one year, you can use this receipt as a form of proof that you have a South Dakota address, which is a necessary requirement of establishing residency. We’ll receive mail on your behalf via your personal mailbox and forward it to any address of your choosing.

Stay one night at a South Dakota address.

When you apply for your residency, you’ll need proof that you’ve stayed one night at a South Dakota hotel, motel, campground or RV Park. Don’t worry, we’ve got that covered! Come stay with us at our comfortable, highly-rated campground and you’ll get a receipt that you can take to the DMV.

Get your residency.

Once you have your physical address, it’s time to come to South Dakota to set up your residency in person. That’s right — you will need to visit a local DMV to complete the final steps. In order to make sure you don’t have to repeat the trip, follow these instructions to make sure you’re ready to apply.
