Rerouting Mail

Once you've submitted your Change of Address form, the USPS will start rerouting your mail to your new address. This process typically takes 7-10 business days, but may take longer depending on the volume of mail and the distance between your old and new addresses.

Important Notes

• The USPS recommends submitting your Change of Address form at least 2 weeks before your move to ensure a smooth transition.
• You can also use the USPS's "Mover's Guide" to help with the moving process.
• If you're moving internationally, you'll need to use a different process to reroute your mail.
• The USPS will not forward mail that is not addressed to you or that is not properly packaged.

Remember to update your address with other relevant parties, such as your bank, credit card company, and subscription services, to ensure a smooth transition to your new address.
