Inquiry About Using a UPS Mailbox as a Permanent Address for Travel Nursing

Seeking Advice
1

Good evening…

I’m about to start travel nursing but don’t have a permanent address right now. I’m thinking of getting a UPS mailbox in Washington to use as my address while I’m on assignments. Has anyone done this or know if it works?
Here’s what I’m wondering
Taxes and legal stuff: Would using a UPS mailbox mess with taxes or other legal paperwork? I know some things need a real residential address.
Licensing: I’ll be working in different states—would having a UPS box as my address cause problems when applying for state nursing licenses or compact licensure?
Mail handling: How good is UPS at forwarding important stuff like tax forms, pay stubs, etc.? Is it a hassle to keep up with? Travel benefits: Does using a UPS box affect travel stipends or reimbursements? I just want to make sure I’m doing everything right and not missing out on anything.
If anyone has experience with this or knows other ways to handle a permanent address while traveling, I’d love to hear your advice!

Your advice is highly welcome…
