I know this word exists but I can't remember it. It is like saying current address or last address but has the meaning of the address a person lived most of their lives or is identified with most.
Thanks for any help :)

Might seem a bit obvious, but it is the best term.
1.3. The abiding place of the affections, especially of the domestic affections.
- The locality where a thing is usually found, or was first found, or where it is naturally abundant
A person's home is the place they identify with most.
Now, if you're writing a form (i.e. a tax form) and you want the place the person has most often lived recently, you'd say the "primary residence".
