The "Hold Mail" form!

Here's a breakdown of the form:

United States Postal Service (USPS) Hold Mail Form

Purpose: To request that the USPS hold your mail at the local post office while you're away.

Who can use it: Anyone who wants to temporarily suspend mail delivery while they're away from their address.

How to use it:

2. Provide required information: Fill in your name, address, and the dates you want your mail held.
3. Specify the type of mail: Indicate which type of mail you want held (e.g., regular mail, packages, certified mail).
4. Sign and date: Sign and date the form to authorize the hold.
5. Return the form: Take the completed form to your local post office or mail it to the USPS.

What happens next:

• The USPS will hold your mail at the local post office for the specified dates.
• You can pick up your held mail at the post office during business hours.
• If you're unable to pick up your mail, you can arrange for a friend or family member to do so.

Tips:

• Fill out the form at least 3 business days before you want your mail held.
• If you're going to be away for an extended period, you may want to consider forwarding your mail instead.
• You can also use the USPS's online Hold Mail service to request a hold online.

That's it!
