A US postal address

Is there a way to get a US postal address? An American friend of mine is relocating back to US and she needs to start applying for jobs and need an address to put on her CV. She doesn't want to use Box numbers given by Mail forwarding companies - may be something more real looking. Thanks

here's a good article regarding getting a PO Box from the local usa post office http://www.wikihow.com/Rent-a-Post-Office-Box not sure if you can only do this in person ... maybe a problem if she is not there yet ... looks like similar deal to australian po boxes at the local post offices

I am not sure if they made it any easier these days but when I used to live in the US a while ago, they required you to fill half a dozen forms and establish a permanent address before they could set up mail forwarding or a box. It was literally more documentation than you need for getting a mortgage in Australia :)
