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.

Home

1.3. The abiding place of the affections, especially of the domestic affections.

  1. 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".
