Simple Ways to Manage Your Mail
Standard Forward Mail & Change of Address - USPS is taking steps to increase security, combat identity theft, and further protect customers' information. When submitting a change of address request online, customers need to opt in online to receive a verification code or link on their mobile phone OR go to a Post Office location with an acceptable photo ID to complete the identity verification process in person. Pay the $1.25 identity verification fee. After approval, customers get confirmation and instant access to valuable coupons provided by third-party retailers in their 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®. 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 to have a shipment redirected back to their address or to a Post Office location as Hold For Pickup. Commercial senders through Business Customer Gateway can request to have a shipment redirected back to their address, to a new delivery address, or to a Post Office location as Hold For Pickup.
Reserve a PO Box - PO Boxes are available in a range of costs and sizes to separate home and business mail or keep addresses private. 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, customers can submit a USPS Hold Mail® request online and USPS will keep mail safely at the local Post Office until they 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 now requires customers to create or sign in to their USPS.com account to verify identity and current address before submitting a new Hold Mail request.
Hold For Pickup - Whether shipping from a retail store or printing your own shipping label with postage, customers can elect to Hold For Pickup, which allows the recipient to collect a package at the local Post Office.
Schedule Redelivery Service - If a delivery attempt was missed, customers can request redelivery online using the tracking barcode and schedule delivery on a more convenient day. In select markets, recipients can also schedule Redelivery to a USPS® Smart Locker.
USPS Delivery Instructions - If a package doesn't fit in a mailbox and the customer won't be home, they can provide USPS Delivery Instructions online and authorize their carrier to leave it in a specified location. Options include requesting the package be left with a neighbor or held at a Post Office for pickup. For additional postage, customers can have packages sent to a different domestic address, upgrade to Priority Mail Express® or Priority Mail® service, add insurance and extra services. Service is only available for packages sent domestically and not available for packages sent to APO/FPO/DPO addresses.
