USPS Address Change/Forwarding

If you’re moving to a new address in the USA, you can change your address or set up mail forwarding with the United States Postal Service (USPS). Here’s how:

1. Change Your Address: You can change your address with the USPS online, in person at a USPS location, or by filling out a change of address form and mailing it to the USPS. To change your address online, go to the USPS website and select the “Change of Address” option under the “Quick Tools” menu. Follow the steps to enter your old address, new address, and the date you want your mail to start forwarding to your new address.
2. Set Up Mail Forwarding: If you’re temporarily moving, you can set up mail forwarding with the USPS. This will ensure that your mail is forwarded to your temporary address for a certain period of time. To set up mail forwarding, go to the USPS website and select the “Mail Forwarding” option under the “Quick Tools” menu. Follow the steps to enter your old address, new address, and the date you want your mail to start forwarding.
3. Notify Your Contacts: After changing your address or setting up mail forwarding, be sure to notify your contacts of your new address. This may include family, friends, employers, and service providers, such as banks, credit card companies, and utility companies.

By changing your address or setting up mail forwarding with the USPS, you can ensure that your mail is delivered to your new address. Be sure to notify your contacts of your new address to avoid missing important mail.
