Start with official mail forwarding
Use the USPS website directly and verify that the domain is USPS-operated before entering personal information.
- Choose the correct individual, family, or business move type.
- Use the date mail should begin forwarding.
- Keep the confirmation information privately.
Update important records directly
Notify financial institutions, insurers, employers, licensing agencies, subscriptions, and other organizations according to their official processes. Some government records have separate deadlines.
Protect against impersonation
Avoid advertisements that resemble official government forms. Do not send personal or payment information through an unverified moving-service link.
