I-571 P.O Box -- Do I have to change my physical address?

[mohburnz 0]

Hi there! I haven't mailed in my I-751 application to USCIS yet. I currently live in a house (already updated on USCIS and confirmed). However, I decided and went ahead and got a P.O Box today. I need my USCIS documents to be mailed to my P.O Box after my submission of my application, do I need to change my house address through USCIS website online like switch the physical address to the P.O Box or I leave the house address like it is on my account online and then on my application I state that the P. O Box as an address to receive the papers/mails? I hope this makes sense. sorry if this is confusing. Thank you for your time!

To the best of my knowledge, USCIS doesn't accept po boxes while mailing out cards( restricted delivery),see below link. You may have problems getting documents to Po box.

But, if you would like to proceed, then this is your mailing address, and you should put this in your application so they mail out to that address. You will need to change in online account as well I believe, if there is no separate columns as "physical address" and "mailing adress". But this part, i am not too familiar with so maybe it is best for someone else responds. I just wanted to give my opinion regarding using po boxes.
