GHOST ADDRESSES

                   by J.J. Luna

TWO GHOST ADDRESSES ARE AVAILABLE:

1. A private street address and/or a P.O. box in Alaska, USA.
       
2. A private street address in Spain's Canary Islands (Lanzarote).

    (Also available--a telephone number in the Canary Islands that 
     always rings but is never answered.)

Note:
     The  addresses, above, are for private use, i.e., receiving letters, bank statements, real estate documents, vehicle titles, etc. If you need an address for public use, such as for a domain name, veck with Rosie Enriquez.        

Who needs a ghost address?

        Anyone who wishes to have a faraway address for special purposes. This might be for the address of a vehicle registration, for annual property taxes, for bank statements, or for any other sensitive mail. The Alaska address is  especially useful as a return address, when you do not wish to use your own address. Rosie Enriquez reports that many incoming orders do not have a return address on the envelope. This does not add to privacy because if the envelope is not delivered for any reason, then it goes to a dead letter office where it WILL be opened. Would it not be better to have it returned to your ghost address and then sent back to you?


Frequently-asked questions:


How do the above addresses differ from those of Commercial Mail Receiving Agencies (CMRAs)?

         All three addresses are those of single-owner services. Notice the difference between these two street addresses:

        1776 Jefferson Avenue, #123
        1776 Jefferson Avenue

        The top address has a number at the right, which is a dead giveaway that you are using a CMRA. The address you use will be similar to the lower address, with no added number.


Are thousands of people using the above addresses already?

        No. The fact that a setup or membership fee is required up front keeps enrollment relatively low.

How do the two services compare?

1.  FAIRBANKS, ALASKA:
  
       This one is ideal for those of you who plan to receive important documents sent by the county registrar, American banks, etc. Reason: No postage surcharge for foreign mail.

2.  ARRECIFE DE LANZAROTE, CANARY ISLANDS, SPAIN

        This service is cared for by Manuel, a close friend of mine for the past 37 years.  Other than a few sensitive letters plus vehicle titles from DMVs, I seldom get mail there. However, I use this address all the time. It is on my business cards, my letterheads, on some of my return-address labels, and is the address I use when signing up for whatever, on the internet.

        All five of our vehicles are registered with this address. There is therefore no possibility of being served with a U.S. subpoena ...
    
     When I do receive a letter there, I have it opened, scanned, and sent to me via e-mail. This option is open to any who request it. (Note: This option is not available for addresses in Canada or Alaska. Only for the Canary Islands address.)


What if I need some special services, or plan to receive more than a dozen letters per year?

        For an additional fee, more mail can be handled. For details, contact Rosie: senorita@Xcanaryislandspress.com    [Remove the red X.]

Do you accept all orders? 

        No. The right is reserved to reject any order, and sometimes Rosie does just that. One reason is that some applicants are just TOO private, bordering on paranoia. Others have far too many questions. And a few just come across as flaky. The agreement with all three mail service providers is that Rosie will screen out such applicants beforehand.

May I use either address, listed above, as my principal place for business for a New Mexico LLC or for a domain name?

        No. However, one such address IS available in the Canary islands.  Contact Rosie.

Why do all the shelf LLCs have a Canary Islands address?

       This is because Rosie lists the street address of her office in the Canary Islands. This is the address that will be posted on New Mexico's public Web site . She then sells her LLC to you.

Can I use this address myself?

      No, absolutely not.  To understand this, imagine that Rosie sells you a used car. The old registration will have her address on it, but when you fill out the form for the new title, you will need to put your own address on it, no?  That is where the title will be mailed to.  (If you wish to have a Canary Islands address for this, one is available but it is a separate order and the address will be different than the one listed on your New Mexico LLC.

May I use the Santa Fe address of the registered agent to receive my title?

      Once again, the answer is no. Any such letters sent to the Santa Fe address will be returned to sender.
