Will the post office hold my mail if i moved

Yes, the United States Postal Service (USPS) will hold your mail for a certain period of time if you move. Here are the details:

  1. Forwarding service: The USPS offers a forwarding service that allows them to redirect your mail to your new address for a period of up to 12 months. You can sign up for this service online or by visiting your local post office.
  2. Hold mail: If you're moving temporarily or just need a short-term solution, you can ask the post office to hold your mail at your local post office. This service is usually available for up to 30 days.
  3. Mail forwarding options: You can choose from three mail forwarding options:
    • Forwarding for a specific period: You can specify a start and end date for your forwarding service.
    • Forwarding until further notice: Your mail will be forwarded until you notify the USPS to stop the service.
    • Permanent forwarding: Your mail will be forwarded indefinitely until you notify the USPS to stop the service.

To set up mail forwarding or hold mail, you'll need to:

  1. Go to the USPS website and fill out the online form.
  2. Visit your local post office and speak with a postal employee.
  3. Fill out a PS Form 3575, "Address Change Request" form, at your local post office.
