So after moving, one key step is to change your USPS mailing address. When you change your address, you can choose one or more individuals at your residence to have their mail forwarded to a new location. <br><br>There are two easy options for changing your USPS mailing address. You can change your address online or in person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" src=\"https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/01\/openmailbox.jpg\" alt=\"Open mailbox with letters inside\" class=\"wp-image-6219\" style=\"width:640px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/01\/openmailbox.jpg 500w, https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/01\/openmailbox-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-online-address-change\">Online Address Change<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To change your address online, go to <a href=\"https:\/\/moversguide.usps.com\/mgo\/disclaimer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">USPS.com\/move<\/a>. This will lead you to the five steps listed on the USPS website. First, choose if you are moving as an individual, family, or business, and fill out the website&#8217;s forms, including contact forms and address forms. At this stage, you can also choose if the move is temporary or permanent. Next, verify that your information is correct, and verify your identity. Finally, pay for the transaction. To change your address online, there is a fee of $1.10 that you must pay with a credit or debit card. This fee is for identity verification purposes to protect you against fraud and ensure that you are the one making the change of address request.<br><br>This is the fastest and easiest way to change your mailing address with the USPS. After completing the final step, you will receive a confirmation email that your mailing address has been changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-in-person-address-change\">In-Person Address Change<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To change your mailing address in person, go to your <a href=\"https:\/\/tools.usps.com\/find-location.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">nearest post office<\/a>. Make sure you bring a <a href=\"https:\/\/faq.usps.com\/s\/article\/Acceptable-Form-of-Identification\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">form of identification with a photograph<\/a>, like a driver&#8217;s license. Upon arrival, request the <a href=\"https:\/\/faq.usps.com\/s\/article\/Change-of-Address-The-Basics#Guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mover\u2019s Guide<\/a> packet. This will break down the basics of changing your address, such as what information you will need. First, you will fill out PS Form 3575 located inside the Mover\u2019s Guide. This is a hard copy of the change of address form. <br><br>Next, give the form to a postal worker. They&#8217;ll use your ID to verify your identity, and then you\u2019re good to go! There is no fee to change your mailing address in person.<br><br>If you aren&#8217;t ready to turn in the PS Form 3575 at the post office, you can also mail it to any US post office.<br><br>After you have completed the above steps, the USPS will mail a moving validation letter to your current address to notify you that the request has gone through. Also, five days before your selected change of address date, you will receive a customer notification letter in the mail at your new address, along with a confirmation code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/01\/personputtingletterinmail-1024x684.jpeg\" alt=\"Woman mailing letter with USPS\" class=\"wp-image-6220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/01\/personputtingletterinmail-1024x684.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/01\/personputtingletterinmail-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/01\/personputtingletterinmail-768x513.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/01\/personputtingletterinmail-1536x1025.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/01\/personputtingletterinmail.jpeg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-other-address-changes\">Other Address Changes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, changing your post office mailing address while moving only affects mail or packages. All state and personal records must be updated separately from the USPS change of address form.<br><br>For example, to change your voter registration address, you must visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usa.gov\/change-voter-registration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">USA.Gov<\/a> and fill out their change of voter registration form. In addition, to change your address with a school, health care provider, etc., contact them directly.<br><br>In addition, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usps.com\/manage\/forward.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">USPS typically forwards your mail for only a year<\/a> following your move. After this, mail that goes to your old address will be returned to the sender. Therefore, it&#8217;s important to update your address in as many places as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-driver-s-license-address-changes\">Driver&#8217;s License Address Changes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Driver&#8217;s license address changes are important and are separate from post office address changes. The steps for this change rely on state protocol and laws. Some states allow you to change your driver&#8217;s license address on your state&#8217;s DMV website. But if you&#8217;re <a href=\"https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/moving-out-of-state-checklist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">moving out of state<\/a>, you might need to visit the DMV in your new state with certain documents. <br><br>For example, if you already live in Iowa and want to <a href=\"https:\/\/iowadot.gov\/mvd\/driverslicense\/changes-or-corrections\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">change your driver&#8217;s license address<\/a>, visit the closest driver&#8217;s license center. You will be charged a $10 fee for this service. If you&#8217;re <a href=\"https:\/\/unimovers.com\/movers\/ia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">moving to Iowa<\/a> from another state, you will need to swing by the <a href=\"https:\/\/iowadot.gov\/mvd\/driverslicense\/new-iowa-residents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DMV<\/a> with documents proving your identity, SSN, new address, and more. <br><br>If you move within North Carolina, you have 60 days to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncdot.gov\/dmv\/help\/moving\/Pages\/moving-within-nc.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">update your driver&#8217;s license address<\/a>, but you can do it online. For a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncdot.gov\/dmv\/help\/moving\/Pages\/moving-within-nc.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">move to North Carolina<\/a> from elsewhere, you need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncdot.gov\/dmv\/help\/moving\/Pages\/new-residents.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">visit the DMV<\/a> with your current driver&#8217;s license, proof of SSN, proof of address, and more. <br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mymove.com\/moving\/paperwork\/dmv-change-of-address\/#south-carolina\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">In South Carolina<\/a>, you only have 10 days to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scdmvonline.com\/Driver-Services\/Drivers-License\/Address-or-Name-Change\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">change the address on your license<\/a> after an in-state move. This can be done online.

That means you get to decide when you would like to stop receiving mail at your current address. <br><br>In addition, your mail will begin arriving at your new address 7\u201310 business days after your selected COA date. With all this in mind, make sure you add your change of address to your <a href=\"https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/the-quintessential-printable-moving-checklist-you-need\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">moving checklist<\/a> as a task to accomplish at least a week in advance of your moving day.<br><br>Also, about two weeks before your move, notify anyone who regularly sends you mail about your change of address to ensure smooth delivery to your new home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/01\/DSC_0230-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"UniMovers unloading a couch\" class=\"wp-image-14930\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/01\/DSC_0230-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/01\/DSC_0230-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/01\/DSC_0230-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/01\/DSC_0230-1536x1021.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/01\/DSC_0230-2048x1362.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-if-i-don-t-have-a-new-permanent-address-yet\">What If I Don&#8217;t Have a New Permanent Address Yet?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes people move out without having a new permanent address yet.

With this request, the USPS will forward your mail to a temporary address for any period between two weeks and six months. Also, you can extend the forwarding if needed. <br><br>In addition, you can get a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.upwork.com\/resources\/best-virtual-mailbox-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">virtual mailbox<\/a>. This service will scan your mail and let you access it digitally. Expect to pay anywhere between $5 to $50 per month for this type of service. <br><br>Lastly, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usps.com\/manage\/hold-mail.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">USPS will hold your mail<\/a> for up to 30 days.
