Hold mail in post office

The convenience of holding your mail at the post office!

If you're going to be away from your mailbox for an extended period, you can hold your mail at your local post office. Here's how:

1. Visit your local post office: Go to your nearest post office and let them know that you'd like to hold your mail.
2. Provide identification: You'll need to show a valid form of identification, such as a driver's license or passport, to prove that you're the mail recipient.
3. Fill out a form: The post office will provide you with a form to fill out, which will ask for your name, address, and the dates you'd like to hold your mail.
4. Specify the dates: Let the post office know how long you'd like to hold your mail. You can choose to hold your mail for a specific number of days, weeks, or months.
5. Pick up your mail: When you return, visit the post office and show your identification to pick up your held mail.

Some things to keep in mind:

• You can hold your mail for up to 30 days.
• If you're holding your mail for an extended period, you may need to provide additional documentation, such as a utility bill or lease agreement, to prove your identity and address.
• If you're holding your mail and then decide to have it forwarded to a different address, you'll need to fill out a change of address form and provide the new address.
• If you're holding your mail and then decide to cancel the hold, you'll need to notify the post office in writing or by phone.

It's always a good idea to check with your local post office for their specific policies and procedures regarding holding mail.
