Address when setting up domain

[oscar.h]

Okay so i am purchasing a new domain for my website,
but it wants me to give my full address and im not happy with that,
do i have to fill it in if so why?

The reason an address is needed is for the WHOIS records of the domain, such as for the Abuse contact information of the domain and so that the domain can be verified as being owned to a particular person. A good example can found with x10Hosting's or Google's WHOIS records. I know there are services out there that can mask your WHOIS records for you, however I don't know if those violate any domain name terms of service for WHOIS fraud.

Most likely the domain registration will fail if you do not enter proper details. There may be an option to hide such information on a whois lookup for instance, but the domain registrar still need to have valid a address for the domain owner.
