Sure, in the UK, you could do that and I know people who have done so. If
you invent a street name here in Charlbury and then post a letter to it,
Carla the post-lady will ask around until she finds out where the street is
(or until she sees the sign you've erected), and then she'll deliver you the
letter. A working postcode will speed the process up but isn't absolutely
necessary.
