> isn’t it pretty easy for things to go wrong if someone forgets?

What do you imagine going wrong? In my mind, if I had a digital address code, one of the first things I would do after moving would be to update it. Plus, the article alludes to functionality that displays (+ confirms) the physical address anyway…

Yeah, you're probably right. Maybe I'm just overthinking it. It's just that when people get busy, even the simplest things can slip through. If the system had some kind of reminder or could sync automatically, that would make it perfect.

then your mail will be sent to the wrong place. just like if you forgot to update your default shipping address on amazon, after moving, for example.

the government can’t save you from being forgetful. :) But it CAN make the process easier. This looks great and as an american i’m jealous! A single place to update my address would be amazing.
