This may be a hassle for some people who do not live at the primary billing address. You may want to print a pdf statement and have it ready just in case.

Apple says to bring the following:

1) Current mobile phone
2) Carrier information
3) Acceptable form of ID.

According to the above link on acceptable forms of Identification.

Apple said:
Scenario One: Your current address or the address on file with your existing carrier appears on your primary ID.

Choose One Primary ID:

  • Driver's license
  • State-issued ID

Choose One Secondary ID:

  • Credit card or Visa/MasterCard debit card with your name printed on it. Gift cards and prepaid cards are not acceptable forms of ID
  • Passport
  • Military ID
  • Utility bill from the last 90 days with the same name and address as your primary ID
  • Original or certified copy of birth certificate with name that matches primary ID

Apple said:
Scenario Two: Your current address does not appear on your primary ID or does not match what your carrier has on file.

Choose One Primary ID:

  • Driver's license
  • State-issued ID
  • Passport
  • Military ID

Choose One Secondary ID

  • Utility bill from the last 90 days with the customer’s name as it appears on the primary ID, and the billing address listed for the primary account holder.

Oooh thanks for the heads up. All my mail goes to my UPS Store mailbox since I travel alot for work. Thanks for the heads up.
 
I guess with these guide lines on what to bring it means means we are going to be charged and have a phone waiting for us.
 
So I don't know... change your billing address?

Really no need to do that. If you have access to change the primary address, you can just print out a pdf statement so long as it has your name on it.
 
We have about an hour left. I just wanted to bump this once for anyone preparing to order.

Good luck!
