Change postal mailing address

To change a postal mailing address, you'll need to update the address with the United States Postal Service (USPS) and with any relevant parties that may have your old address on file. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:

Update with the USPS:

  1. Fill out a Change of Address form: You can download and print a PS Form 3575 (Change of Address) from the USPS website or pick one up at your local post office.
  2. Fill out the form: Provide your old address, new address, and other required information.
  3. Sign and date the form: Make sure to sign and date the form in the presence of a notary public, if possible.
  4. Mail the form: Send the completed form to the USPS at the address listed on the form.

Update with other parties:

  1. Notify the post office: Inform your local post office of the address change, so they can update their records.
  2. Notify banks and credit unions: Contact your banks and credit unions to update your address on file.
  3. Notify credit reporting agencies: Inform Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion to update your address on their records.
  4. Notify loan and credit card companies: Update your address with your loan and credit card companies.
  5. Notify insurance companies: Inform your insurance companies (health, auto, home, etc.) of the address change.
  6. Notify online services: Update your address with online services like Amazon, Netflix, and other subscription-based services.
  7. Notify your employer and HR department: If you're employed, notify your HR department and update your address with your employer.
