Does royal mail redirect police letters

According to Royal Mail's guidelines, they do offer a redirection service for police letters, but with some limitations.

Here are the details:

1. Police letters are not automatically redirected: Royal Mail does not automatically redirect police letters to a new address. This is because police letters are often sent to a specific address for official purposes, and the sender may not be aware of the change of address.
2. You need to request a redirection: If you need to redirect a police letter to a new address, you'll need to contact the police force or the relevant authority that sent the letter and request that they update their records with your new address.
3. Royal Mail's redirection service: Once you've updated your address with the police force, you can use Royal Mail's redirection service to forward any future police letters to your new address. You'll need to set up a redirection service with Royal Mail, which will forward mail to your new address for a specified period (usually 6 months or 1 year).
4. Limitations: Royal Mail's redirection service may not work for all police letters, especially those that are sent via special delivery or have a specific handling requirement (e.g., those containing sensitive information). In these cases, you may need to contact the police force or authority directly to arrange for the letter to be re-sent to your new address.

To set up a redirection service with Royal Mail, you can visit their website, contact their customer service team, or visit a local post office.
