Can i get my mail forwarded to a post office
Yes, you can get your mail forwarded to a post office. This service is called "General Delivery" or "General Mail Forwarding" and it's available at most post offices in the United States.
Here's how it works:
- You need to have a valid government-issued ID (such as a driver's license or passport) and a mailing address.
- You need to go to a post office and ask to set up General Delivery. The post office will need your name, address, and any other relevant information.
- The post office will then hold your mail at the post office for a certain period of time (usually 30 days).
- You can then pick up your mail at the post office during business hours.
Some things to keep in mind:
- You can only use General Delivery for mail that is addressed to you, not for packages or items that require a signature.
- You can only pick up your mail during business hours, and you'll need to show your ID to the post office clerk.
- If you have a lot of mail, you may need to make multiple trips to the post office to pick it all up.
- General Delivery is not available at all post offices, so you may need to check with your local post office to see if they offer this service.
It's also worth noting that General Delivery is not the same as mail forwarding services offered by private companies, which often require a subscription fee and may have additional requirements.
Here are some common uses for General Delivery:
- Travelers who don't have a fixed address and need to receive mail while they're away.
- People who are moving and need to receive mail at a temporary address.
- Businesses that need to receive mail at a temporary location.
- People who are experiencing homelessness or are living in a situation where they don't have a fixed address.
I hope that helps!
