Standard Forward Mail & Change of Address
Moving or Relocating: If you're moving, submit a permanent change of address request so your USPS mail is properly rerouted to your new address. If you're only relocating for 15 days up to 1 year (like going to school or staying with family or friends), submit a temporary change of address request. Getting Started: Plan ahead. Although mail forwarding may begin within 3 business days of your submitted request, it's best to allow up to 2 weeks. Mail will be forwarded to your new address as it comes, piece by piece. What Mail Is Forwarded: First-Class mail and periodicals (newsletters and magazines) are forwarded for free. Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, and USPS Ground Advantage items are forwarded for free. Media Mail items are forwarded, but you must pay the cost for shipping from your local Post Office location to your new address. USPS Marketing Mail is not forwarded. Your change of address order only changes your mailing address with the Post Office. You must still update government agencies (like for your benefits, driver's license, and voter registration) and companies (like banks, insurance, online stores, etc.). Where to Go to Change Your Address: Choose to change your address in a few simple steps online or visit your local Post Office location. You must submit your change of address request in person at a Post Office location if: You're moving outside the United States, You're submitting a change of request for someone else, or You're unable to verify your identity online. How to Change Your Address Online: Go to the Official USPS Change of Address website. Choose an option for either an Individual, Family (where everyone has the same last name), or Business move, and complete the form. Verify your identity: Opt in online to receive a verification code or link on your mobile phone. Pay the $1.25 identity verification fee. The billing address on your credit card must match either your old or new address. If your online identity verification succeeds: USPS will email you a confirmation code. Use this code if you need to modify or cancel your request. You'll get a Move Validation letter to the address you're moving from (your old address). About 5 business days before your change of address start date, you'll get a Customer Notification Letter (with your confirmation code) to your new address. You'll also get a welcome kit with coupons from USPS partners. Mail will be rerouted to your new address piece by piece. If you can't verify your identity online: USPS will send you an email with instructions and a barcode. Bring the email along with acceptable photo ID to a local Post Office location. How to Change Your Address at the Post Office: Visit your local Post Office location with acceptable photo ID and any other required documents. Request a free Mover's Guide packet. Fill out the PS Form 3575 found inside the packet, and give it to the retail associate. They will use your photo ID to verify your identity, then process your change of address request. If You're Unable to Verify Your Identity: To submit a change of address, you must verify your identity. If you can't verify your identity online, go to a Post Office location with acceptable ID. If you can't verify your identity at a Post Office location, you will not be able to complete a change of address with USPS. If you can't submit a change of address with USPS, your only option is to directly contact everyone who might send you mail—people, companies, and government agencies—and give them your new address. Change of Address Requests for Special Situations: Submitting a Change of Address Request for Someone Else - If you're changing an address for someone else (as their Authorized Agent), you'll need to go in-person to a Post Office location and bring acceptable ID and additional documents (depending on who you're changing the address for): A child under the age of 18 requires their birth certificate, A person who is unable to act for themselves requires Power of Attorney. Stop or Forward Mail for the Deceased - To submit a change of address request for someone who is deceased, you must go in-person to a Post Office location with documents showing you're the executor or administrator authorized to manage their mail. (Having their death certificate is not enough.) International Moves: If you're going to move outside the United States, before you leave the U.S., you must go to a Post Office location to verify your identity and submit your change of address request in person. Businesses: If you are submitting a business change of address request in-person at a Post Office location, you must have documentation, like a notarized letter, power of attorney, or letter on company letterhead (signed by someone in a leadership role) that shows you're an Authorized Agent who can submit a change of address request for the business. U.S. Military Moves: For U.S. military moves, first work with your command; your AMPS relocation info will automatically be shared with USPS. If you still need to submit a change of request with USPS, you can do so either in person or online. For online requests, if you are moving from a military address, your email address must end in .gov, .mil, or .edu. Important note: If you need to verify your identity in person, you can only do so at Post Office locations in the 50 states and Puerto Rico. If you are outside of the U.S., you cannot verify your identity in-person and won't be able to submit a change of address with USPS. Related Mail Services: USPS Hold Mail Service - If you'll be away for 3–30 days, you can pause all mail delivery to your address with USPS Hold Mail service. Your local Post Office will hold all mail to your address until you return. Your mail carrier will deliver all your held mail on the last day of your hold, or you can pick up your mail at the Post Office. Extended Mail Forwarding: Standard mail forwarding lasts 12 months. You can pay to extend mail forwarding for 6, 12, or 18 more months (18 months is the maximum). To purchase Extended Mail Forwarding, you can add it when you first submit your change of address request or if you later edit your request. (USPS will also send you a reminder email when you have 1 month left in your mail forwarding.) Important: You can't cancel or request a refund for Extended Mail Forwarding. When your mail forwarding period ends, USPS will return your mail to the sender for 6 months with a label that has your new address. Premium Forwarding Services: In addition to regular mail forwarding, USPS offers paid Premium Forwarding Service options. For a fee, customers can have their mail packed up and sent to them: For residential customers, in a weekly Priority Mail shipment; for businesses, in daily, weekly, or monthly Priority Mail or Priority Mail Express shipments.

Pay the $1.25 identity verification fee. After approval, customers get confirmation and instant access to valuable coupons provided by third-party retailers in the area. Change of address requests last for 12 months but can be extended for 6, 12, or 18 more months. Premium Forwarding Mail For a weekly fee, customers can have most mail sent to them each week with Premium Forwarding Service Residential® for long vacations or out-of-town assignments. The temporary service is available for periods as short as 2 weeks and up to 1 year. USPS Package Intercept With USPS Package Intercept® service, the sender (or authorized representative) can redirect domestic packages, letters, and flats with a tracking or extra services barcode as long as the items have not yet been delivered or released for delivery. Retail Senders can request shipment redirection back to their address or to a Post Office location as Hold For Pickup. Commercial Senders can request redirection through Business Customer Gateway to their address, a new delivery address, or to a Post Office location as Hold For Pickup. Reserve a PO Box Reserving a PO Box is a way to separate home and business mail or keep address private. PO Boxes are available in a range of costs and sizes. Customers can find one online, complete the application, pay with a credit card, and bring the printed form, emailed receipt, and two IDs to the Post Office. USPS Hold Mail If going out of town for a while, customers can submit a USPS Hold Mail® request online and mail will be kept safely at the local Post Office until return. Service can be scheduled for a minimum of 3 days and a maximum of 30 days in advance or by 2 AM CST (Mon.–Sat.) on the start date. USPS requires customers to create or sign in to USPS.com account to verify identity and current address before submitting a new online USPS Hold Mail request. Hold For Pickup Whether shipping from a retail store or printing own shipping label with postage, customers can elect to Hold For Pickup. Hold For Pickup allows the recipient to collect a package at the local Post Office. Schedule Redelivery Service If USPS missed when attempting to deliver a package or mail, customers can get it redelivered by making a request online using the tracking barcode. Redelivery can be scheduled on a more convenient day. In select markets, recipients can also schedule Redelivery to a USPS® Smart Locker. USPS Delivery Instructions If a package does not fit in mailbox and customer won't be home to receive it, USPS Delivery Instructions can be provided online to authorize carrier to leave it in a specified location. Customers can request that packages be left with a neighbor or held at a Post Office for pickup. For the cost of additional postage, packages can be sent to a different domestic address.
