Let those of no fixed abode use PO boxes to get bank accounts and register cars

Closed 241 signatures

What the petition asks

At present those who are homeless, whether visibly or invisibly are denied the ability to get jobs, register bank accounts or keep cars because they don't have a permanent address, and institutions like the DVLA do not accept PO boxes. This policy would keep people in society.
