You can get someone's updated address using the USPS "Address Service Requested" option. This service includes forwarding and address correction requests.
When you fill out the change-of-address card with the postal service, they'll mail you a confirmation with your new address. Most places accept the confirmation letter as proof of address, but it's worth calling to make sure if you don't see this specifically listed as an acceptable document.

Moving or Relocating If you're moving, submit a permanent change of address request so your USPS® mail is properly rerouted to your new address. If you're only relocating for 15 days up to 1 year (like going to school or staying with family or friends), submit a temporary change of address request.
Try to get their last address from the Post Office You will need to fill out a form with the USPS to ask for this.
Make a quick call or visit your local post office. They'll be able to give you advice on the best location and they may even give you approval for the relocation. Consider weather exposure. When relocating your mailbox, consider the effects of weather conditions, like snow plows burying it in winter.
Contact the local Post Office before erecting, moving or replacing mailboxes and supports.
In order to move your mailbox you must FIRST, get authorization from your local post office to do so. Once you have authorization the post office will instruct you on where & when it can be moved, to accommodate both you & your carrier.
Assuming your curbside mailbox is not in compliance, the USPS can require you to relocate the mailbox to comply with the standard regulations in order to receive mail.
