DS230 Mothers Birth Name & Address?

In filling out my new wifes application to get added to my application that was already submitted to KCC in May I have stumbled across a couple of issues i hope someone can give me reassurance on.

Firstly, the address she will have down will be different than the one i put down. I put down my parents one where i have lived most my life and still use for taxes and most important mail. She is putting down our actually address we are living in for the past two years. I didnt use this as the post is rubbish and didnt want any information sent to it as i may get lost.
Is it a big deal that our addresses are different? Or should i get KCC to update my application address to match?

For address in the states we both have N/A but I put down N/A for the address in the states for the greencard to be sent to and we now have an address in the states we can put down on her application. Will this matter that they do not match and again should i get my application updated?

I have just found out that my mothers birth name is what i put in my application but it is not the same on my birth cert (which matches the name put on the marriage cert). So there is different names. Will this matter and should I get my birth cert and marriage cert revised or get the application changed to match these or not bother and just explain the situation if asked at the interview?

I would greatly appreciate your advice before i get too indepth into needlessly going about trying to get my application data updated.
Oh, and if i do do this will there be an extended processing time like when the application was just submitted or will it be just a matter of someone in KCC typing in the update to a computer?

Thanks
 
We do live together and have been together over 7 years and have mortgages and whole load of stuff to prove that. Thats not an issue.

I talked to KCC and they said it doesnt matter if the addresses are different. They are just mailing addresses.

I submitted the application with my mothers birth name error on the marriage cert and will be getting the marriage cert revised and will forward to them when i get the corrected version.
They said it only really matters at the interview as does any other errors in documentation

Thanks
 
We are living in a place different from our documents addresses for 3 years and the reason is, as you said "post is rubbish". We got married 3 weeks ago and my wife changed her last name (she took mine) so she changed her ID card and passport but didn't changed address. A week ago we were in embassy to give them our marriage cert and a man from the office told us we should put the real address in our applications no matter if that address is in no ones ID or passport. Our interview is in less then a month.
So my advice to you is to update both DS-230, the more same data you have - the better.
