Changing your address with the US Post Office can be a hassle, but it's a necessary step when you move to a new place. You'll need to file a change of address form with the post office.
The process involves submitting a change of address form, PS Form 3575, to the post office. This form can be completed online, by mail, or in person at a local post office.
You'll need to provide your old and new addresses, as well as your name and a reason for the change. The form also asks for your signature and date.
USPS Mail Forwarding
USPS Mail Forwarding is a convenient service that allows you to hold your mail for a longer time or reroute it to a new location. You can sign up for the service to cover your bases while you're away.
There are three forms of Mail forwarding offered by USPS: temporary, permanent, and premium. Temporary and premium mail forwarding is used for short-term relocations.

Temporary and permanent mail forwarding covers only first-class mail but not marketing mail and packages, while premium mail forwards all mail to your new address. This is a great option if you're moving to a new home and want to make sure you receive all your mail.
To apply for mail forwarding, you'll need to change your mailing address with USPS. This is a straightforward process that can be done online or in person.
If you need to cancel your mail forwarding service, you can do so online or in person. You'll need your confirmation number to cancel online, which you can find on the USPS website. If you've lost your confirmation number, you can still cancel your service by visiting a post office in person with valid, government-issued photo ID.
You can update or cancel your request at any time, even if your mail has already started forwarding. To do so, visit the official USPS Change of Address page and follow the steps provided.
Keep in mind that you'll need to make changes to your order no later than Midnight CST before the start date to cancel the order or modify the start date. If you've paid for the service in advance, you're eligible for a refund if you no longer wish to use the service.
Here are the steps to cancel your regular forward mail:
- Locate your confirmation number to cancel online.
- Cancel or modify your request online using your confirmation number and the "new" ZIP code you listed for the address you wanted your mail forwarded to.
- Visit a post office if you've lost your confirmation number.
It's also worth noting that you can cancel your PFS Residential order by Monday at 11:59 pm CST before the Wednesday shipment date.

Security and Scams
Scammers are sneaky, and they've set up fake websites that look like they're from the USPS, trying to charge you $40 or more for a change-of-address service that should only cost $1.10.
These third-party sites often show up at the top of search results, making it hard to spot the real deal. Be cautious and do your research.
The official USPS site is the only place where you should be paying $1.10 for a change-of-address service.
Action and Confirmation
After you've submitted your change of address request, it's time to make any necessary changes. You can update your mail forwarding start date, end date, email address, or phone number, or even switch from a temporary to a permanent move.
To make changes, you'll need to enter your confirmation code and ZIP code. You can then make one of the following updates: change your mail forwarding start date, change your mail forwarding end date, change your email address or phone number, switch from a temporary move to a permanent one, switch from a family move to an individual one, or cancel your address change order altogether.
You can make two modifications in a day, but be aware that you can only modify the street address line once in a day. After exceeding the two changes allowed, you'll get an error message saying "You have exceeded the amount of changes that you can make within the same day. Please try again in 48 hours."
