The United States Postal Service (USPS) offers a Mail Hold service that allows you to temporarily suspend mail delivery to your address while you're away. Here's how it works:

How to request a Mail Hold:

1. Go to the USPS website at usps.com.

4. Choose the reason for holding your mail (e.g., vacation, moving, etc.).
5. Review and confirm your request.

What happens when you request a Mail Hold:

• The USPS will hold your mail at the local post office for the specified dates.
• You can pick up your held mail at the post office during business hours.
• If you're unable to pick up your mail, you can have it forwarded to a different address.

Important notes:

• Mail Hold requests can be made up to 30 days in advance.
• You can only hold mail for a maximum of 30 days at a time.
• If you need to hold mail for an extended period, you'll need to make multiple requests.
• Some types of mail, such as certified mail and registered mail, cannot be held.

How to cancel a Mail Hold:
