Why do you need mail forwarding?

You may need mail forwarding for various reasons, such as:

How to set up mail forwarding:

  1. Notify the US Postal Service (USPS): Fill out a change of address form (PS Form 3575) and submit it to your local post office or online at usps.com. You can also use the USPS Mobile App to change your address.
  2. Provide your old and new addresses: Make sure to include your old address and your new address on the form.
  3. Choose your forwarding options: You can choose to forward mail for a specific period (e.g., 3 months, 6 months, or 1 year) or indefinitely.
  4. Pay the fee: There may be a fee for mail forwarding, which varies depending on the length of time you want to forward your mail.
  5. Verify your forwarding: Once you've submitted your form, verify that your mail is being forwarded correctly by checking your new address.

Additional tips:

  1. Update your address with other services: Notify your bank, credit card company, loan providers, and other relevant parties of your address change.
  2. Use a mail forwarding service: If you're moving abroad or need more advanced mail forwarding services, consider using a private mail forwarding company.
  3. Keep your old address active: If you're selling or renting out a property, keep the old address active for a few months to ensure any important mail or packages are delivered to the correct address.
  4. Monitor your mail: Keep an eye on your mail and packages to ensure they're being forwarded correctly and to prevent any issues with delivery.

By following these steps, you'll be able to set up mail forwarding and ensure your mail and packages are delivered to your new address.
