First of all I would be VERY leery about sending all that info they are asking for. They should NOT be asking for that personal info from you.
Go to any UPS Store in any state. Pay for the box, they give you an address and no ID required period. They do everything a post office does only they are privately owned and can provide an address that you can use when a po box address is not accepted when doing business.

Because of the new stupid ID act, and the patriot act you can no longer get a real po box if you don't live in that state and have a DL license from that state, UPS Store remedies that.
I just had someone I knew that lived in Florida open a po box for me. They don't care what mail gets delivered to it just that the person that paid for it had a DL for that state. :R
Yes, I know, but this is about mail-forwarding, not about mail delivery. They need permission to forward your mail to you, otherwise, it just sits in the box, waiting.
BUT, as a proof of ID, the utility bill makes me laugh - it's not about where I live, it's about WHO I am, and a utility bill is a dumb idea ... anyone can easily make one up.
