When you move, it\u2019s easy to get caught up in unpacking and setting up your new home \u2013 and forget about updating your mailing address. But skipping this step can mean missing important bills, tax documents, or packages. Fortunately, changing your address with the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is quick, whether you do it online or in person. Here\u2019s exactly how to do it, plus who else to notify so nothing slips through the cracks.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to change your mailing address online<\/span><\/h2>\n

The easiest and most convenient way to change your mailing address is to do it online. Here\u2019s the process for changing your address online when moving into a new home:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Go to the <\/span>USPS Change of Address<\/span><\/a> website<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Select the proper form for an individual, family, or business move.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Verify your identity with a code or link that\u2019s sent to your cell phone.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Pay the verification fee.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. If the verification is successful, you\u2019ll receive a confirmation code, which can be used to change or cancel your request.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. If you\u2019re unable to verify your identity, you\u2019ll receive instructions and a barcode, which you\u2019ll need to take to a post office location along with a valid photo ID.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How to change your mailing address in person<\/span><\/h2>\n

    If the online option doesn\u2019t work out or you simply prefer to complete the process at a physical location, this option is also available. To change your address in person, simply:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Visit a local post office with an acceptable photo ID and other necessary documents.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Ask for a Mover\u2019s Guide packet, which includes PS Form 3575.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Fill out and submit the form with your photo ID.<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. Once your identity has been verified, your change of address request will be processed.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Special cases requiring in-person changes:<\/span><\/h3>\n
        \n
      • For children under 18:<\/b> Bring a birth certificate.<\/span><\/li>\n
      • For business moves:<\/b> Bring a notarized letter, power of attorney, or a signed letter on company letterhead.<\/span><\/li>\n
      • For U.S. military moves:<\/b> Both in-person and online options are available.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Timing and mail forwarding details<\/span><\/h2>\n
          \n
        • You can schedule your change of address up to 30 days before your move.<\/span>

        • USPS will forward most First-Class Mail for 12 months, but periodicals are forwarded for only 60 days.<\/span>
          \n<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Some packages, especially from private carriers like UPS or FedEx, are not automatically forwarded \u2013 you\u2019ll need to update your address directly with them.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Who should I notify about my address change?<\/span><\/h2>\n

          Once you\u2019ve updated your address with USPS, you\u2019ll still need to let other organizations know so your mail, bills, and services aren\u2019t disrupted. Here are the key places to update your information after a move.<\/span><\/p>\n
