How to stop mail from being forwarded

To stop mail from being forwarded, you'll need to contact the post office or the organization responsible for forwarding your mail. Here are the steps:

USPS (United States Postal Service)

1. Contact your local post office: Visit your local post office or call them at 1-800-275-8777 to speak with a representative.
2. Provide identification: Be prepared to provide identification to verify your identity.
3. Request to stop mail forwarding: Let the representative know that you want to stop mail forwarding and provide your forwarding address (if applicable).
4. Confirm the stop: The representative will confirm the stop and provide a confirmation number.

Private Mail Forwarding Services

If you're using a private mail forwarding service, such as a mailbox rental or a virtual office, you'll need to contact them directly to stop mail forwarding. Here's how:

1. Contact the mail forwarding service: Reach out to the service provider via phone, email, or online chat.
2. Provide your account information: Provide your account information, including your name, address, and account number (if applicable).
3. Request to stop mail forwarding: Let the representative know that you want to stop mail forwarding and provide your forwarding address (if applicable).
4. Confirm the stop: The representative will confirm the stop and provide a confirmation number.

Additional Tips

• If you're moving to a new address, make sure to update your address with the USPS, banks, credit card companies, and other relevant parties to ensure that your mail is forwarded correctly.
• If you're stopping mail forwarding due to a change in address, you may need to update your address with the post office or mail forwarding service before the stop is effective.
• Keep in mind that stopping mail forwarding may not immediately stop all mail from being delivered. It may take a few days for the post office or mail forwarding service to update their records and stop forwarding mail.

Remember to always verify the stop with the post office or mail forwarding service to ensure that your mail is no longer being forwarded.
