In order to change your address online with the USPS, you will be charged a small $1.05 fee for verification purposes. The charge will need to take place on your debit or credit card. This is done to protect your address information and to avoid having fraudulent change of address requests being submitted on your behalf. You can complete a change of address request offline to avoid the $1.05 fee, by visiting your local post office. You will be required to present 2 forms of ID as well as sign the change of address form that you will fill out. This too is done for verification purposes.
In order to make your change of address process more streamlined and to ensure that all parties have been notified about your change of address, we recommend you complete your change of address two weeks prior to your move. If you are a few weeks out, you can select a date from the calendar in our change of address page so that the USPS can start forwarding your mail then.
Yes. Changes of address are free if you have them completed at your local post office. Any charges would be for an online change of address, and only for verification purposes. You may come across other, non USPS websites, changing north of $20 for a change of address. You do not need to go through those sites and you can just have a change of address completed directly with the USPS.
