No junk mail list government

You're looking to opt out of receiving junk mail from the government. Here's what you need to know:

National Do Not Mail List (NDNML)

The National Do Not Mail List (NDNML) is a free service provided by the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) that allows you to opt out of receiving unsolicited commercial mail. While it's not a government-run list, it's widely recognized by mailers and can help reduce the amount of junk mail you receive.

To sign up for the NDNML:

  1. Visit the DMA's website at www.dmaconsumers.org.
  2. Click on "Opt-Out" and then "National Do Not Mail List."
  3. Fill out the online form with your name, address, and email address (optional).
  4. Confirm your registration by clicking on the verification link sent to your email address.

Government-specific opt-out options

While there isn't a single, national government-run list to opt out of junk mail, you can take the following steps to reduce the amount of government-related mail you receive:

  1. USPS Opt-Out: The United States Postal Service (USPS) allows you to opt out of receiving certain types of mail, such as catalogs and credit card offers. You can do this by visiting the USPS website and filling out the "Opt-Out" form.
  2. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Do Not Call Registry: While not specifically for junk mail, the FTC's Do Not Call Registry can help reduce telemarketing calls and some unsolicited mail. You can register your phone number online or by calling 1-888-382-1222.
  3. State-specific opt-out options: Some states, like California, have their own "Do Not Mail" lists. You can check with your state's consumer protection agency to see if they offer a similar service.

Additional tips

  1. Register with the National Change of Address (NCOA) database: The NCOA database helps ensure that your mail is forwarded correctly when you move. You can register online or by contacting the USPS.
  2. Contact your local post office: Your local post office may have additional resources or services to help you reduce junk mail.
  3. Consider using a mail-blocking service: Services like 41pounds.org or MailBlocker.com can help block unwanted mail from reaching your mailbox.

Remember that while these options can help reduce junk mail, they may not eliminate it entirely.
