Can i have my mail redirected to a po box

Yes, you can have your mail redirected to a PO Box. Here are the general steps to follow:

  1. Check with the USPS: Contact the United States Postal Service (USPS) to confirm that they allow mail redirection to a PO Box. You can visit their website or call their customer service number at 1-800-275-8777.
  2. Gather required documents: You'll need to provide identification and proof of address to set up mail redirection. Typically, you'll need:
    • A valid government-issued ID (e.g., driver's license, passport)
    • Proof of address (e.g., utility bill, lease agreement)
  3. Fill out the form: You'll need to complete a Change of Address form (PS Form 3575) and indicate that you want to redirect your mail to a PO Box. You can download the form from the USPS website or pick one up at your local post office.
  4. Choose the redirection period: You can choose how long you want the mail redirection to last. Options typically include:
    • 1 year
    • 2 years
    • Permanent (until you notify the USPS to stop the redirection)
  5. Pay the fee: There may be a fee associated with setting up mail redirection, which varies depending on the length of the redirection period. The current fee is $1.05 for 1 year, $2.10 for 2 years, and $3.15 for permanent redirection.
  6. Submit the form: Take the completed form and required documents to your local post office or mail it to the USPS address listed on the form.
  7. Verify the redirection: Once the USPS processes your request, they'll send you a confirmation letter with your new PO Box address. Verify that your mail is being redirected correctly by checking your PO Box regularly.
