Place of residence

Place of residence is the place in which a person resides essentially regardless of housing type. In other words, it is where you are living and defines your home address. It could also be the address for a temporary residence if you for example work, study or are on holiday abroad. The term can for example be used in the policy letter for a home insurance.
