Forwarding mail to a new address is a relatively straightforward process. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you forward your mail:

Option 1: Forward Mail with the USPS (United States Postal Service)

2. Fill out the form: Provide your old address, new address, and the date you want the forwarding to start. You can also specify the type of mail you want to forward (e.g., only packages, only letters, etc.).
3. Sign and date the form: Make sure to sign and date the form in the presence of a notary public, if required.
4. Submit the form: Take the completed form to your local post office or mail it to the USPS address listed on the form.

Option 2: Forward Mail with a Mail Forwarding Service

1. Choose a mail forwarding service: There are many private companies that offer mail forwarding services, such as EarthClassMail, Mail Forwarding Service, or The UPS Store. Research and select a reputable service that meets your needs.
2. Sign up for the service: Fill out the registration form and provide your old and new addresses, as well as any other required information.
3. Set up your forwarding: The service will set up a mailbox at their facility and forward your mail to your new address.

Tips and Considerations

• Notify your banks, creditors, and other relevant parties: Inform your banks, credit card companies, loan providers, and other relevant parties of your address change to ensure they update their records.
• Update your voter registration: If you're registered to vote, update your voter registration information with your new address.
• Notify your employer and HR department: If you're employed, notify your employer and HR department of your address change.
• Keep your old address active: Keep your old address active for a few months to ensure you receive any important mail or packages that may be sent to your old address.
• Monitor your mail: Keep an eye on your mail for a few weeks to ensure it's being forwarded correctly and to catch any errors or issues.

Remember to always keep your new address private and secure to prevent identity theft and other issues.
