• If you're moving internationally, you may need to use a different type of forwarding service, such as a mail forwarding company.
• If you're changing your forwarding address due to a change in your name, you may need to update your address with other government agencies, such as the Social Security Administration or the Department of Motor Vehicles.
• Keep in mind that USPS forwarding is only available for a limited time (usually 12 months) and may require additional fees for extended forwarding periods.

Remember to also update your address with other relevant parties, such as:
