Might it cause questions? Yes. Will it cause a problem? Not likely.
What will most certainly cause a denial is if you lie. You clearly don't live with your folks and you clearly have your own place close by. Is there a particular reason not to simply list your correct address?
Tell the truth here and then go about getting everything updated. No reason not to.

Unless you're using your parents address to avoid municipal or state taxes ("a couple miles" puts you in a state with no income tax), I can't see any government agency getting bent out of shape about this. What you are doing is essentially the same as having a post office box--you have a mailing address and a physical address. In your case, the only difference is that other people live at your mailing address (who are related to you) and you are (presumably) not paying them a fee to collect your mail.
I am speculating, but I bet you use your parents' address because it's more secure for mail, somehow. Pretty much anyone would understand that as a reason.

Thanks for the info! Definitely not doing anything dodgy with the addresses and definitely won't lie. I've moved about 4 times in the past 6 years and it is more convenient to just keep the and address, and yes, it's safer to get mail and packages sent to them. They live on a little side dead end street while currently I live in a busy area with lots of other apartments. I've had packages and such stolen before.

Application For Global Entry, Multiple Addresses
Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone could advise on how I should proceed with my Global Entry application considering that we have two addresses for our residence. I rent an apartment and this is where I reside most of the time and my parents live 5 minutes away from where I live. I usually stay with them on the weekends and I drop by almost every alternate day. My driver's license has the address of the residence of my parents.
How should I go about completing my current residence and previous residence history? Should I keep the aparment address as the primary and the address of my parents as the mailing address?
Would this become an issue if I provide my DL and they saw the address of my parents?
I guess I can get a lease agreement and rent receipts from my landlord. I can also provide bill statements for my internet/landline connection which would have the condo address.
Thanks.

When they ask to look at proof of residence, the address on a driver's license is routinely accepted. I thought that I had to list multiple residential addresses when applying for GE initially, but it didn't seem to cause me an issue. At the "interview", they asked me about who else lives at my various residences but that was about it.

@GUWonder, the issue here is that I have lived at the above addresses for less than a year, so I would need to list all my previous addresses along with the one on my DL (the address where my parents live) and the address of where I live i.e. the apartment address. Which of the two should I indicate as my primary?

Whichever you wish. DLs don't have to have current address on file. So it's no problem if it doesn't match. In fact most I know are never asked for more then their passport. They give you a long list of items to have with you, but then don't need them.

Of course, the folks doing screening for Precheck/GE nominally aren't about enforcing state DMV regulations...but I would guess that YMMV as to any individual employee's familiarity with them or interest in being sure you're following them.

It depends--some states do require you to get your DL updated every time you move.

Global Entry or TSA PreCheck?
Guys - I only travel 3-4 times a year (mix of domestic and international) and destinations change all the time. Since GE includes TSA Pre now, GE is the obvious choice for someone like me. Right?
Also, if I have my mom traveling with me on the same PNR, is she automatically going to get the same Pre line as me even though she isn't enrolled?
If not, I'll enroll her but she doesn't speak English. She is a US citizen. Is that going to pose a problem?
Thanks

I think interview is conducted in English only, but I may be wrong. I am not sure if a translator will be provided.

We typically fly American, but this has also happened on Southwest and United. (I can't remember if Porter participates in PreCheck, but if so, we've gotten it with Porter, too.)
Just to clarify: My fiance's experience is limited to PRECHECK ONLY. Global Entry rights have never extended to other passengers on the same PNR.

Personally for the few extra dollars I'd go with Global Entry even if only traveling outside of the US a couple times a year. I remember our first time reentering the US after we got GE. Landed in PHL with four other international flights. Must have been six or seven hundred people in the regular lanes. There were maybe a dozen in the GE lane and we breezed right through. That one instance alone was worth the $15 over just PreCheck ($100 versus $85). We have used GE now maybe six times with the same speedy process. At a couple of dollars a reentry I'd certainly rate it as a bargain and we still have several years to go before renewal.
