Important Notes:

• You can hold your mail for up to 30 days.
• If you're going to be away for an extended period, you may want to consider setting up mail forwarding instead of holding your mail.
• If you're holding your mail, you'll need to pick it up at the post office or have it forwarded to a different address.
• If you're unable to pick up your held mail, it will be returned to sender.

By having the post office hold your mail, you can ensure that your mail is safe and secure while you're away, and you can pick it up when you return.
