There are thousands of people who move to a new address each year with the help of a moving company Little Elm TX. One important step in the moving experience is changing your address with the post office. It is important to notify the post office of your upcoming move in order to prevent the loss of any important mail. Here are some important things to know when changing your address with the post office.

Moving Company Little Elm TX: Options for Changing Your Address

To change your address in person, visit your local post office and request an official change of address form. These forms can typically be found in the Movers Guide packets located in the lobby. Complete the form with the necessary information and return it to a service employee at the post office or place the form in your mailbox.

If you would rather change your mailing address over the internet, visit usps (dot) com. On the main page of the website, locate the Product and Services links. Roll your cursor over the “Manage Your Mail” tab where you find the “Change Your Address” option. Click on the link and follow the online directions. You will need a credit card in order to make the one dollar payment for the service. Next you will need to choose the type of move you are making, either a Permanent or Temporary one. If you have no plans to return to your existing address, click on the Permanent option. You will need to determine and include the date to begin forwarding your mail. You will also need to indicate whether the change is for an individual, your family or your business. You can avoid using your credit card online by printing the incomplete form from the website. Simply fill in the required information and mail or bring the form to your local post office. You can also leave the form in your mailbox.

In order to prevent fraudulent situations, a paper copy to confirm your requested changes will also be sent to your existing and new addresses. You will need to verify that the address information is accurate on the confirmation letter sent to your new home.

Any mail that must be redirected to your new location may take a week for the forwarding process to be completed and for you to begin receiving your redirected mail. Be sure to complete the change of address form with this time limitation in mind, particularly if you are awaiting important mail. While the post office recommends that you make the necessary changes about two weeks before you move, it is possible to complete the form three month before you relocate.

Once you have made the post office aware of your new location, make copies of your new address and provide the information to your family members, friends, banking organization, insurance companies, doctors, dentists, employers and subscription companies. The redirection of your mail that is provided by the postal service has an expiration date and will discontinue after that. It is important to make sure that you notify all important parties of your new address in order to receive your mail after the expiration of the forwarding service.
