Can You Get Ss Card And State Id Delivered To A P.o. Box?

Location: Arizona

I turn 18 later this week and plan on submitting my legal name change form to get my legal name changed. Once I have the official forms after the hearing and my legal name is officially changed, I will need to get a new SS card and State ID. However, I don’t want it delivered to my family’s mail since I don’t really want them to find out I legally changed my name even though I live with them. I know they will eventually find out, but I don’t want them to find out immediately or happen to open our mail and see my new social security card or state ID delivered to our mail since I’m trans, and they’re transphobic.

So I’m wondering if my new SS card and State ID can be delivered to a P.O. Box or if that is legally not allowed because of confidentiality and security reasons. The P.O. Box I plan on opening will look like a street address, if I ever do end up using my P.O. Box for delivery, and not like a regular P.O. Box address.
