I've heard of things like iPostal and Traveling Mailbox. Do these services allow you to register with bank, DMV, IRS, Voting, etc? How do they work? Would a normal P.O box using its physical address from USPS work? I've tried researching it and haven't gotten clear answers.

I don't want to show up on those whitepages sites with all my information on them. I want to stop it from the start.

What you are likely referring to is a "nomad" residence. There are some states that allow this, such as Florida. There is a process to getting this status and you would want to do that before opening a new account in that state.

Wouldn't filing for nomad residence when you have an actual residence be fraud?

You are not defrauding anyone. Plus there is a legitimate process to go through to establish nomad residency. It creates a valid residential address.
