How to File a USPS Change of Address: A Guide from Recordsforce
Changing your address with the United States Postal Service (USPS) is an essential step when transitioning to using a digital mailroom service. Properly updating your address ensures uninterrupted mail delivery and prevents important correspondence from getting lost or delayed. The USPS Change of Address form automatically forwards your mail from your previous address to your new address. As a digital mailroom provider, Recordsforce understands the importance of streamlined mail management, and we’re here to guide you through the process of filing a USPS Change of Address.
Why Is Filing a Change of Address Important?
Failing to update your address with the USPS can lead to:
- Missed bills or financial documents.
- Delayed access to data.
- Security risks from sensitive mail being delivered to your old address.
By filing a Change of Address, you can ensure that your mail is rerouted to your new location efficiently.
How to File a USPS Change of Address
Filing a USPS Change of Address is simple and can be done in just a few steps:
Step 1: Choose Your Filing Method
You can file your change of address using one of two methods:
- Online: Visit the USPS website (www.usps.com) and complete the process digitally.
- In-Person: Go to your local post office and fill out a physical Change of Address Form.
Step 2: Provide the Necessary Information
Whether filing online or in-person, you’ll need:
- Your old business address.
- Your new business address provided by your digital mailroom servicer.
- The start date for mail forwarding.
Step 3: Confirm the Change
Once you’ve submitted your request, USPS will send a confirmation letter to both your old and new addresses. Keep this for your records.
