I would tell the headhunter your problem and ask them how they have dealt with it in the past, I am sure it happens a lot. I am guessing some people use family/friend’s addresses, not sure if that would cause problems in the future or not.
leave out ur address
ya, that’s why I’m moving where I want to work

that is another good idea

You could leave out the city and state of the firm as well, but they would still know where that firm is in a lot of cases. I don’t think there’s any effective way to hide the fact that you are a non-local candidate.
