Important Notes:

• You can only hold your mail for a maximum of 30 days.
• If you're going to be away for an extended period, you may want to consider forwarding your mail instead of holding it.
• If you have a PO box, you'll need to contact the post office where your PO box is located to request a hold.
• If you're experiencing a mail delivery issue, you may want to contact your local post office or USPS customer service to resolve the issue before requesting a hold.

Remember to cancel your hold request when you return to ensure your mail delivery resumes as normal.
