Generally you have to be 18 in almost every state because you can’t legally sign most agreements until you’re a legal adult. This means that your signature on contracts, leases, bank accounts, etc doesn’t mean much.

If you want, check with your local jurisdiction about getting a “Registered Agent” that can serve this purpose. Generally you can get a lawyer who will do this for a few hundred/year *or* an adult like a parent, etc.
