The joys of holding mail for a short period! Here are the steps to hold your mail for 2 months:

- Fill out the online form with your name, address, and the dates you'd like to hold your mail (in this case, 2 months).
- You can also request to hold your mail at a specific post office or have it held at the local post office nearest to your address.
- Once you submit the form, the USPS will hold your mail for the specified period.
Method 2: Contact Your Local Post Office
- Visit your local post office or call them to speak with a representative.
- Inform them that you'd like to hold your mail for 2 months.
- Provide your name and address, and the dates you'd like to hold your mail.
- The post office will put a hold on your mail, and it will be stored at the post office for the specified period.
Tips and Reminders
- You can hold your mail for up to 30 days, but you can request an extension for an additional 30 days.
- If you're going to be away for an extended period, you may want to consider redirecting your mail to a friend or family member.
- If you're holding your mail for a short period, you may want to consider having it forwarded to your new address instead of holding it.
- Keep in mind that holding your mail may not prevent delivery of certain types of mail, such as packages or certified mail.
