Forward mail to post office box

To forward mail to a post office box, you'll need to set up a mail forwarding service with the United States Postal Service (USPS). Here's a step-by-step guide to help you do so:

Option 1: Online Forwarding

  1. Go to the USPS website (www.usps.com) and sign in to your account or create one if you don't have one.
  2. Click on "Mail & Ship" and then "Forwarding" from the top menu.
  3. Fill out the "Forward Mail" form with the following information:
    • Your name and address (the address you want to forward mail from)
    • The post office box number you want to forward mail to
    • The length of time you want to forward mail (e.g., 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, etc.)
  4. Pay the forwarding fee (currently $20 for 1 month, $30 for 3 months, and $40 for 6 months).
  5. Confirm your request and print the confirmation page.

Option 2: In-Person Forwarding

  1. Visit your local post office and ask to set up a mail forwarding service.
  2. Fill out the "Forward Mail" form with the same information as above.
  3. Pay the forwarding fee (cash, check, or credit card).
  4. The post office will provide you with a confirmation receipt.
