It is not a military command — It is a way of life for 400,000 U.S. military members and their families. But they’re not alone.
Every year, 36 million of Americans — from students to business owners, from young families to retirees — pack up and start fresh somewhere new.
And with every move comes the same headache: updating their address everywhere. What if there were a simpler way?
Have you ever struggled to fill out address forms for government services or other organizations?
When you were sick, did you have to complete piles of paperwork just to see a doctor? Was it easy?
Simple addresses can make our lives easier.
The 2nd animation dives more into examples of our daily life's problems with the current street address. Virtupost is an online service and concept designed to make our contemporary life faster and easier.
Let's rethink the way the world connects.
Losing a house means losing your postal address.
Losing your postal address means losing physical connection to the world.

Why create unnecessary rules?
when AI and computers can handle the complexity for us?
All the following address variations still refer to the same physical location to a human:
Anna Smith
14 Park Slope Av., Apt 3A
Brooklyn, NY 11215
Variation might include, but is not limited to:
14 Park Slope Avenue
14 Park Slope Ave.
14 Park Slope AV
14 Park Slope Av
14 Park Slope Av.
14 PARK SLOPE AVE
Fourteen Park Slope Ave
Fourteen Park Avenue(and countless other casing, spelling, and abbreviation variations)
However, traditional postal systems often fail to recognize them as the same address because legacy databases store an exact fixed text string. Matching depends on strict, character-by-character correspondence, rather than semantic equivalence. Even minor differences — such as punctuation, suffix abbreviation, casing, or number-to-word conversion — can break old matching rules, resulting in address rejections, failed deliveries, or duplicate records.
Virtupost Solution:
Virtupost’s digital addressing engine eliminates this problem by using semantic normalization and persistent digital address IDs. Regardless of how the address is typed — uppercase, lowercase, abbreviated, spelled out, or with typos.
