Can I register at the Citizen’s Office or municipality using this address?

No.

TDPB addresses are correspondence addresses, not residential addresses. Most municipalities and citizen offices require proof of actual residence, which a correspondence address cannot provide.

For residence registration, you will need a valid residential address that meets local legal requirements.

More frequently asked questions

A few common questions we often hear

  • No. A TDPB address doesn't establish UAE tax residency and can't be used as proof of tax residence. Tax residency follows your actual circumstances and the rules that apply to you, not a postal address. If that's your goal, speak to a qualified adviser.

  • No problem. You can choose to have any item forwarded to your current location, no matter where you are in the world. You’re always in control of what happens with your physical post.

  • Three in this comparison. We cover eight European countries plus Dubai under a single account and TDPB number, as of August 2026. Clevver lists 40 business-address locations across 15-plus countries. BPM-Lux covers ten countries, three of them outside Europe. Everyone else is a single-country provider, and several are a single address.

  • In most cases, yes. TDPB addresses are real street addresses accepted by most banks, insurers, and government agencies for correspondence purposes. Always verify the specific requirements of the institution you are dealing with to be 100% sure. TDPB addresses are not intended for company registration or legal domicile, but for personal and administrative communication they work the same way as any other address. See Using your address for more details about the use of the address.

  • It’s based on a real PO Box, but enhanced with digital access. You don’t have to collect your mail, we scan and upload it for you.

  • Most European banks accept a TDPB Partner address for the correspondence layer. Some banks have specific requirements at account opening (resident status documentation, additional ID checks). Address acceptance depends on the specific bank and account type. Always verify the specific requirements of the institution you are dealing with to be 100% sure.

  • In most countries, yes, a TDPB address works well as a correspondence address on your website, invoices and email signature.
    There’s one thing to know: the rules differ by country. In some countries the address is for personal use under your own name only, and in others it can only be used by sole proprietorships. So what you can and can’t do depends on where your address is. For the exact rules in the country where you need the address, see the relevant 'Using your address in [country]' page, linked from our main using your address page.

  • No. There’s no physical collection required. Your mail is scanned and delivered to you digitally. No deadlines, no penalties.

  • No, you don’t need to be open to the public every day. But your location must always be able to receive incoming post and it should usually be processed within 24 hours after delivery.

    It’s no problem if there’s occasionally a small delay, but regular mail handling is essential. For example, if you’re away for a full week and no one empties the mailbox or processes the post, that won’t work.
