Plan ahead. Although mail forwarding may begin within 3 business days of your submitted request, it's best to allow up to 2 weeks. Mail will be forwarded to your new address as it comes, piece by piece. Choose to change your address in a few simple steps online or visit your local Post Office? location.

If you already have a USPS.com® account: Go to your account preferences, scroll to the Informed Delivery section, and opt in to Informed Delivery. If you do not have a USPS.com account: Go to the Informed Delivery page and click the sign up link. Enter your address to check if it's eligible for Informed Delivery.

Informed Delivery is a free service from USPS that shows you preview images of incoming mail, as well as status updates about your incoming and outbound packages. You can see those notifications in a morning Daily Digest email, or at any time via the dashboard from your phone, computer, or the USPS Mobile® app.

Informed Delivery® provides notifications for mailpieces arriving soon - not necessarily mailpieces arriving that same day. Pieces can be delayed in getting to your mail carrier. Or, unfortunately, a mailpiece could be misdelivered. We ask that you allow several days for delivery after receiving the notification.

If the package doesn't arrive, you can file a Missing Mail search request. To do that, you need the mailer's address and the recipient's address, the date of mailing, and a description of the package. The best way to track a package without tracking number is by setting up a USPS Informed Delivery Account.

Who gets notified when you change your address? Generally, people are not notified if you change your address unless YOU notify them. This applies to both postal addresses and email addresses. If you notify the Post Office, they may notify other people who send you mail at your old address.

USPS Informed Delivery only shows the exterior of your mail USPS Informed Delivery subscribers receive emails with a low-resolution, gray-scale digital image of only up to 10 pieces of mail a day. USPS Informed Delivery doesn't show customers all of their mail. Some letters arrive without ever showing up as a preview.

After scheduling a Change of Address (COA), USPS will promptly mail, to the address you are leaving, a Move Validation Letter (MVL) to validate the move. Within 5 Postal business days before the COA start date, you will also receive a Customer Notification Letter (CNL) or a Welcome Kit in the mail at your new address.

After you submit an Official Change of Address (online at moversguide.usps.com, in-person at a Post Office?, or through your mail carrier), you will receive an email and a physical letter with a 9-digit alpha-numeric code requesting confirmation of your change of address.
