We had that issue a few years ago and it had nothing to do with any investment firm. The address was listed as a commercial address  (campground) and there were certain types of mail that   could not be  delivered there.

I love it when cops think they know the law and are wrong. The Patriot Act expired in 2011 and was replaced by the USA freedom Act which expires this year 2019. The Freedom Act is different and is not the Patriot Act. 

However you want to look at it, who am I to argue with a retired lawyer and judge.  I'm sure you are 100% correct as always your Honor.  You should probably do a little research though, no need to come back with anything after you do your homework.

Some of you had requested that I follow up with the reply from those at Escapes on this subject below is my email and their response:

My wife and I recently became full timers. I’ve read your articles on domicile locations and we have elected to use South Dakota. When I provided my financial institution (Charles Schwab) with the SD address provided by escapees they rejected the address. Schwab stated that due the Patriot Act they could not utilize a commercial address as my residence. Is this something you have heard of from the banking industry?

Response:

Yes, that is quite common now since the Patriot Act.  FINRA and the SEC are requiring that Brokers / Advisors obtain a sticks and bricks address in order to maintain investment accounts for purposes such as money laundering, etc.  If you would like to discuss this further, we have a financial advisor that works with RV'ers that can explain it to you and also explain how you can still maintain your accounts and be compliant with the Patriot Act.
