How long can i have my uk mail redirect

In the UK, you can have a mail redirect in place for a maximum of 12 months. This is a standard service offered by Royal Mail, the UK's postal service.

Here are the details:

• The maximum duration for a mail redirect is 12 months.
• You can apply for a mail redirect online or by phone.
• The service is available for individuals, businesses, and organizations.
• The redirect service allows you to forward your mail to a new address, either within the UK or internationally.
• You can choose to redirect mail for a specific period, such as 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months.

After the 12-month period, you'll need to renew your mail redirect or cancel it. If you don't renew or cancel, the service will automatically expire.

It's worth noting that you can also apply for a temporary mail redirect, which is available for a shorter period, typically up to 3 months. This service is useful if you're moving temporarily or need to redirect mail for a short period.

To apply for a mail redirect, you'll need to provide some basic information, including:

• Your current address
• Your new address (where you want the mail to be redirected)
• Your name and contact details
• Proof of identity (e.g., passport, driving license, or utility bill)

You can apply for a mail redirect online through the Royal Mail website or by calling their customer service number.
