Can i have mail forwarded from a po box

Yes, you can have mail forwarded from a PO Box. Here are the steps:

  1. Open a PO Box: First, you need to open a PO Box at a post office or online through the USPS website. You can choose a PO Box that is located near you or in a different city or state.
  2. Forwarding Options: When you open your PO Box, you'll be asked if you want to set up forwarding. You can choose from two options:
    • Forwarding to a Street Address: You can have your mail forwarded to a street address, which is usually a residential or business address. This is a good option if you want to receive mail at a different location.
    • Forwarding to Another PO Box: You can also have your mail forwarded to another PO Box, which is useful if you have multiple PO Boxes or want to keep your mail at a different location.
  3. Fill out the Form: To set up forwarding, you'll need to fill out a PS Form 3800, "Domestic Mail Forwarding" form. You can get this form at your local post office or download it from the USPS website.
  4. Provide the Necessary Information: On the form, you'll need to provide the following information:
    • Your name and address
    • The PO Box number you want to forward from
    • The address you want to forward to (street address or another PO Box)
    • The length of time you want the forwarding to continue (e.g., 1 month, 3 months, etc.)
  5. Pay the Fee: There is a fee for mail forwarding, which varies depending on the length of time you want the forwarding to continue. The fee ranges from $0.65 to $15.00.
  6. Submit the Form: Once you've completed the form and paid the fee, submit it to your local post office or mail it to the USPS.
