Mail address change
1 Online:
- Visit the official website of your postal service (e.g., USPS for the United States).
- Fill out the change of address form. You might need to verify your identity, often through a small fee (like $1.10 for USPS) and a confirmation code sent to your U-Mail email or phone.
2 In-Person:
- Go to your local post office.
- Request a change of address form (often called PS Form 3575 in the U.S.).
- Fill it out and submit it to the postal worker.
3 Temporary vs. Permanent:
- Decide if you need a temporary or permanent change. Temporary changes are for short-term relocations (like vacations or temporary work assignments), while permanent changes are for long-term moves.
4 Notify Others:
- Update your address with banks, insurance companies, government agencies, and any subscriptions or services you use.
