Does forwarded mail show up on informed delivery

According to the United States Postal Service (USPS), forwarded mail is not typically included in the Informed Delivery service. Here's why:

Informed Delivery is a free service that sends you digital previews of your incoming mail and packages, allowing you to see the exterior of your mailpieces, including letters, flats, and packages, before they arrive at your mailbox. The service uses optical character recognition (OCR) and machine learning algorithms to extract the sender's name, address, and other relevant information from the mailpieces.

Forwarded mail, by definition, is mail that has been redirected to a new address. Since the original address on the mailpiece has been changed, the OCR and machine learning algorithms used in Informed Delivery may not be able to accurately identify the sender's name, address, or other relevant information. As a result, forwarded mail is not typically included in the Informed Delivery service.

However, it's worth noting that if you have a forwarding order in place with the USPS, you may still receive digital notifications for your forwarded mail through Informed Delivery. These notifications will typically include the original sender's name and address, as well as the new forwarding address.

If you have any specific questions or concerns about Informed Delivery or forwarded mail, I recommend contacting the USPS directly or visiting their website for more information.
