Body: <p>Is there any way to add an address for a prospective user during front-end registration on Craft 5?</p>
  <p>I'm trying to set up front-end registration on a Craft 5 site. The ideal process is that a prospective user will fill in a front-end registration form as described in the official knowledge base (<a href="https://craftcms.com/knowledge-base/front-end-user-accounts" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://craftcms.com/knowledge-base/front-end-user-accounts</a>) which will create a deactivated user. That prospective user's details will then be manually checked by an admin prior to being sent an activation email.</p>
  <p>The problem lies in collecting an address from the prospective user. As far as I can tell, users can only create/edit their own addresses <em>after</em> they are activated and logged in. In my case a 2-step process where the address is added later is not acceptable as the address needs to be manually checked before the user is activated.</p>
  <p>Does anyone have a solution for this?</p>
  <p><em>Note:</em> I'm aware that a similar question was asked back in 2020 (<a href="https://craftcms.stackexchange.com/questions/36033/add-billing-address-to-user-on-registration">Add billing address to user on registration</a>) but there was no answer regards achieving this without a 2 step flow.</p>

  Is there any way to add an address for a prospective user during front-end registration on Craft 5?
  
  I'm trying to set up front-end registration on a Craft 5 site.

  The problem lies in collecting an address from the prospective user. As far as I can tell, users can only create/edit their own addresses *after* they are activated and logged in. In my case a 2-step process where the address is added later is not acceptable as the address needs to be manually checked before the user is activated.
  
  Does anyone have a solution for this?
  
  *Note:* I'm aware that a similar question was asked back in 2020 ([Add billing address to user on registration](https://craftcms.stackexchange.com/questions/36033/add-billing-address-to-user-on-registration)) but there was no answer regards achieving this without a 2 step flow.
