A P.O. Box can serve as the mailing address. However, it cannot serve as the domicile address.

U.S. trademark applications require two address-related fields. The first is a mailing address and the second is a domicile address. The mailing address is visible on the USPTO website, therefore exposing the address in that field. The domicile address is kept within USPTO records and is not publicly available.
