Mail divert post office

A common question!

If you need to divert mail to a different address, you can do so through the United States Postal Service (USPS) or your local post office. Here are the steps:

USPS Online

1. Go to the USPS website (www.usps.com) and sign in to your account.
2. Click on "Hold Mail" or "Forward Mail" under the "Mail & Shipping" tab.
3. Enter the new address where you want your mail to be forwarded.
4. Choose the duration for which you want to divert your mail (e.g., 1 month, 3 months, etc.).
5. Confirm your changes.

Post Office

1. Visit your local post office with a valid government-issued ID.
2. Inform the postal clerk that you want to divert your mail to a different address.
3. Provide the new address where you want your mail to be forwarded.
4. Specify the duration for which you want to divert your mail (e.g., 1 month, 3 months, etc.).
5. The clerk will assist you with the process and provide a confirmation receipt.

Note: If you're diverting mail to a different address within the same city or zip code, you may not need to fill out a formal request. Simply inform the postal clerk of the change, and they will update your address.

Additional Tips:

• If you're diverting mail to a temporary address, you may want to consider setting up a temporary forwarding address with the USPS.
• If you're moving permanently, you'll need to update your address with the USPS and your other relevant institutions (e.g., banks, credit cards, etc.).
• Keep in mind that diverting mail may take a few days to take effect, so plan accordingly.
