Question Change of Driver's License address between application and interview for Global Entry

My husband and I both applied for Global Entry and were conditionally approved. At the time of the application we used our home address which is where we have lived for well over 5 years, and that's what was on our driver's licenses at that time.

In the flurry of selling our home and other belongings, and planning to visit another country for several months soon, we submitted an online change of address for our driver's licenses, temporarily forgetting about our upcoming Global Entry interviews. So we now have physical possession of driver's licenses with our current address on them which match our application, AND also duplicate driver's licenses with the future address we will be using as our legal address for all mail while out of the country on them.

So we're not sure which DL to show during our interviews... the one that is currently technically correct but soon won't be when we leave the country for several months, or the one's with the new address (which is what the state DMV now has on file as our address).

To make the situation possibly more confusing, the new address on our driver's licenses is NOT a real residence. Like people who live out of the their RVs with no other address and thus use commercial virtual mailbox services (that have a street address), we won't have any residential address here in the USA other than a virtual mailbox until we come back in several months to the USA. While the DMV accepted the address and issued licenses to us under that address, I feel pretty sure that like banks and brokerages who require a "real" residential address for the Patriot Act, Global Entry probably will easily see that the new address on our driver's licenses is associated with a commercial service, and not somewhere that people normally live.

So with all that being said - Do we show our original DL that have our current real residence on them, even though our state DMV has issued us different ones recently and that's what will likely come up in the computer? Or do we show the new driver's licenses and hope GE won't care it's not a "real" residential address? Or do we show both sets of licenses and explain the details?

We really should have waited to change our DL address until after the interviews, but what is done is done. Any advice on how to handle this situation during our interviews? Mine is coming up in just a few days and I'm stressing out over what to do.
