Any location in the Kiravian Federacy that resolves to a valid [[Kiravian addressing system|Kiravian postal address]] can be chosen as a registered domicile. The location of a domicile must be at least as specific as the countyship or raion (as the records themselves are maintained by countyships) and no more specific than the townland or ''kontruv''. Individual blocks, lots, or buildings are not specified. | |||
The location of one’s registered domicile normally does '''not''' correspond to one’s residential address nor place of birth. Most often the chosen location has some personal significance to the registrant(s): For many Kiravians, especially Kir people and Southerners, it corresponds to their [[Ancestral home (Kiravia)|ancestral home]], however defined. Other common choices are a childhood home or other past address, the place where a couple met or was married, or even a cherished vacation spot. | |||
Still, as any place with a valid postal address may be chosen, transfer fees are nominal, and physical access to the records is rarely necessary, some Kiravians select their registered domicile for less orthodox reasons, or even at random. Prominent landmarks and villages with humorous or unusual names often have domicile registrations in great excess of their actual populations. Diaspora returnees and naturalised immigrants. | |||
It is possible to register a domicile on the disputed island of [[Wintergen]], which has been ruled by Burgundie since 1823 AD, although the postal maps are now quite out-of-date. The records are maintained by the [[Stewardship of Wintergen|government-in-exile]], which is based in [[Valēka]]. Various uninhabited islets, including the [[Ortego islet dispute|disputed islet of Ortego]] have household registries maintained by the Bureau for Minor Outlying Island Affairs, part of the [[Kiravian Maritime Executive]]. | |||
One's registered domicile is treated as {{wp|personally identifiable information}} (PID) and is subject to the relevant privacy and data protection laws. It is often used as an authentication question by banks and similar institutions, as the information is less easily accessible to potential scammers than one's actual home address. | |||
