How long is mail forwarded with change of address

The length of time that mail is forwarded with a change of address request varies depending on the postal service and the type of mail being forwarded. Here are some general guidelines:

USPS (United States Postal Service)

• For domestic mail, the USPS will forward mail for up to 12 months after the change of address request is submitted.
• For international mail, the USPS will forward mail for up to 6 months after the change of address request is submitted.
• If you need to forward mail for a longer period, you can submit a new change of address request or contact the USPS to request an extension.

Canada Post

• For domestic mail, Canada Post will forward mail for up to 12 months after the change of address request is submitted.
• For international mail, Canada Post will forward mail for up to 6 months after the change of address request is submitted.

Other countries

• The length of time that mail is forwarded with a change of address request varies by country. For example:
  • In the UK, Royal Mail will forward mail for up to 12 months after the change of address request is submitted.
  • In Australia, Australia Post will forward mail for up to 12 months after the change of address request is submitted.
  • In Germany, Deutsche Post will forward mail for up to 6 months after the change of address request is submitted.

It's important to note that the forwarding period may be shorter if the sender has already notified the postal service of the change of address or if the mail is sent via a specific service that does not allow forwarding (such as certified mail).

If you're unsure about the forwarding period for a specific country or postal service, it's best to contact the postal service directly for more information.
