Interesting read, I was a victim of identity fraud a while back after moving from my rented apartment. I am very careful with my digital identity, however I was caught out by physical address fraud.

I didn't setup mail redirection and assumed updating my banking and important correspondence would be enough. However in the UK you get lots of spam mail to my old address, for things like credit cards etc. which someone managed to do.

In summary, I would setup mail redirection.
