Royal mail redirection postal address

To set up a Royal Mail redirection postal address, you'll need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Check if you're eligible

• You must be the registered owner of the property or have permission from the owner to set up a redirection.
• You can only set up a redirection for a maximum of 12 months.

Step 2: Gather required information

• Your name and address (the one you want to redirect mail to)
• The name and address of the property you're moving from (the one you want to redirect mail from)
• Your Royal Mail account number (if you have one)

Step 3: Choose the type of redirection

• Permanent Redirection: Redirect mail to a new address permanently.
• Temporary Redirection: Redirect mail to a new address for a limited time (up to 12 months).

Step 4: Set up the redirection

• Go to the Royal Mail website (www.royalmail.com) and click on "Redirection" at the top of the page.
• Fill in the required information and select the type of redirection you want.
• Pay the redirection fee (currently £33 for a permanent redirection or £21 for a temporary redirection).

Step 5: Confirm your details

• Review your details carefully to ensure they're correct.
• Confirm your redirection by clicking "Submit" or "Continue".

Step 6: Receive your redirection confirmation

• Royal Mail will send you a confirmation email or letter with your redirection reference number.
• Keep this safe, as you'll need it to cancel or amend your redirection if needed.

Tips and reminders

• Make sure to update your redirection with any changes to your name or address.
• If you're moving abroad, you may need to set up a different type of redirection or use a different postal service.
• Redirection fees are non-refundable, so make sure you're sure about your new address before setting up a redirection.
