There are a few ways to put a hold on your mail, depending on your location and the type of mail you're receiving. Here are some common methods:

USPS Hold Mail

2. Phone: Call the USPS Customer Service number at 1-800-275-8777 and ask to put a hold on your mail.
3. In-person: Visit your local post office and ask to put a hold on your mail.

USPS Hold Mail Form

You can also fill out a Hold Mail form (PS Form 3914) and submit it to your local post office. You can download the form from the USPS website or pick one up at your local post office.

Other Options

• Vacation Hold: If you're going to be away for an extended period, you can request a Vacation Hold. This will hold your mail for up to 30 days.
• Mail Forwarding: If you're moving or going to be away for an extended period, you can set up mail forwarding to have your mail sent to a different address.
• Local Post Office: If you're unable to access the USPS website or phone, you can visit your local post office in person and ask to put a hold on your mail.

Important Notes

• You can put a hold on your mail for up to 30 days.
• You'll need to provide a valid reason for holding your mail, such as a vacation or moving.
• If you're holding your mail for an extended period, you may need to provide additional documentation, such as a copy of your flight itinerary or a letter from your employer.
• If you're holding your mail for a medical reason, you may need to provide a doctor's note.

Remember to always check with your local post office for specific requirements and procedures for holding your mail.
