In your case, since you are looking at this as a temporary 1 year thing, you can contract for mail service from any of the companies in any state and remain a resident of MI. What you need is a Michigan address you can use during that year such as a friends or relatives. Your mailing address would be at whatever service you choose and you will change your mailing address only to that new address. When asked for a residence /resident address, you will list the address of your friend/relative.
Resident/Residence - MI Address
Mailing Address - Address assigned by whatever mail service you hire.
Excellent advice. If you have a relative or good friend who will let you use their address as a "residential address" in Michigan, what you use for a mailing address can be anywhere. When we 1st started full timing years ago we used our daughter's address in Grand Rapids for our residential address (on our driver's licenses and vehicle registrations) while using the Escapees mail forwarding service in Livingston, TX for our mailing address. All our mail went to Livingston except for license renewals.
