There is no address registration in the UK, for instance. It works OK for most people. British people are very opposed to it or to ID cards, despite that fact that it being OK to live in there with no ID whatsoever makes it attractive for illegal immigrants, which they are also opposed to. - You have to specifically register your address on a special list for voting purposes. If you don't, you can't vote. - Payroll taxes are for almost all people done automatically and there is no benefit to doing an individual tax return. Your employer handles the tax communication and informs the tax authorities of your address. - Property taxes get sent to the address, regardless of who lives there. - The health service is not insurance based, all residents are automatically covered, so they don't need your contact details. - For anything else(pension, driving license etc.) you have to notify them individually and if you don't, that's your problem. There are no restrictions like having to take the driving test in the city you live in.
