The online change of address form from the USPS requires a $1 USD payment with a credit or debit card as a proof of identity. You can apply for a change of address in the US here: https://moversguide. usps. com/mgo/disclaimer.
After the forwarding ends, you may extend your forwarding service for another 6 months by filling out and submitting the change of address form again.
The premium service can be used for a minimum of 2 weeks or up to 1 year. Priority mail sent to you is automatically forwarded so you don’t have to wait.
Do not cross out the name of the person that the mail is addressed to.
Do not change the name or return address in the upper left corner of the piece of mail. If you know the recipient but not their new address, call them ahead of time to ask them about their current address.
This also works well to get rid of unwanted junk mail. Instead of “Moved,” write “Refused” on the mail instead.
You can locate official USPS drop boxes here: https://www. mailboxmap. com/.
Many times, the settings option will be listed in the top right corner.
You can set up mail to forward to multiple addresses if you only want to receive specific types of mail on each account.
Check the inbox of the email you’re forwarding occasionally just in case a message doesn’t forward to the new account.
If you’re forwarding mail from your phone, long tap on the message until the pop-up menu appears. Click the Forward option to send the email.
