Without a legal mailing-address, you will be blocked from participating in much of the online-economy.
"no shipping address?" XOR "we won't ever ship to rural people, P.O. boxes, or any other non-CITY bullshit."
There's a book which discusses this, named "The Addres Book", by Deirdre Mask.
Some jurisdictions may require you to be treated as a valid citizen, even with a P.O. box "address", but I don't know of any jurisdiction that does that.
No address?
Your life will be stomped, & from what I've seen, you get deemed a vagrant/homeless by enforcement, too.
In the US you can get around this by renting a PO Box and using the post office street address + your box number as the "Unit" number. There's a form you have to sign to give them permission to handle third party packages for you but I don't think it costs anything extra.
You can kind of get around this in my country by putting in a long term mail redirection at the post office. You can just keep updating your drivers licence and other paperwork at the old address. Its only a matter of time till it gets found out but it will probably work for a fairly long time.
