Does mail redirection redirect under name or address

When you set up mail redirection, it typically redirects mail to a new address, rather than a new name. This means that the mail will be delivered to the new address, but the name on the envelope or package will remain the same as the original sender's name.

For example, if you set up mail redirection from your old address to your new address, the mail will be delivered to your new address, but the return address on the envelope will still show your old address.

However, some mail redirection services may offer the option to redirect mail to a new name, in addition to a new address. This is often referred to as "name change" or "address change" redirection.

In the UK, for example, the Royal Mail's Mail Redirection service allows you to redirect mail to a new address and/or a new name. You can choose to redirect mail to a new name, which will be printed on the envelope or package, or you can choose to keep the original name and just redirect the mail to a new address.

In the US, the USPS's Mail Forwarding service also offers the option to redirect mail to a new name, in addition to a new address.

It's worth noting that some mail redirection services may have specific requirements or restrictions for redirecting mail to a new name, so it's always a good idea to check with the service provider before setting up your redirection.
