How to put hold on mail delivery

There are several ways to put a hold on mail delivery, depending on your location and the type of mail you want to hold. Here are a few options:

USPS Hold Mail

1. Go to the USPS website (usps.com) and click on "Hold Mail" under the "Mail & Ship" tab.
2. Fill out the online form with your name, address, and the dates you want to hold your mail.
3. You can also call the USPS Customer Service number (1-800-275-8777) and ask to hold your mail.
4. Alternatively, you can visit your local post office and ask to hold your mail.

USPS Hold Mail Form

You can also download and print a USPS Hold Mail form from the USPS website and fill it out. This form can be mailed or faxed to your local post office.

Other Options

1. Vacation Hold: If you're going on vacation, you can request a vacation hold on your mail. This will hold your mail for up to 30 days.
2. Temporary Hold: If you're experiencing a temporary issue, such as a move or a construction project, you can request a temporary hold on your mail.
3. Local Post Office: You can also visit your local post office and ask to hold your mail. They may have a form for you to fill out or can assist you over the phone.

Important Notes

• You can only hold mail for a maximum of 30 days.
• If you're holding mail for an extended period, you may need to provide proof of identity and residency.
• If you're holding mail for a vacation, you may want to consider having a trusted neighbor or friend collect your mail or ask the post office to hold it at a local post office.

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