I had to update my address on my driver’s license and they needed a couple pieces of mail with my new address and name on it to verify but I hadn’t gotten any mail at the new place yet.

Then I started thinking about it more and realized I haven’t actually received a letter addressed specifically to me in over a year, possibly in over 3 years. I have everything set to send by email because it isn’t 1950 anymore. Am I just a loser with no corporate pen pals or is physical mail an antiquated form of address verification now?

    The same that will ask you to present a government id number in 10 years to register to anything. Since with this decade’s data breaches and AI, anyone will know everyone’s PII and will be able to fake docs in seconds.
