Change of Address

It is hard enough to have to pack and physically move without having to worry about whether or not you are going to receive your mail.

The U.S. Post Office has a change of address form that will notify the letter carrier about the change so your mail can be routed to the new address. The change of address card can be picked up at any post office.

A change of address filed with the post office will not notify people and companies that you have moved. You will need to do that yourself.

Magazines have labels that should be returned with the correct address. Credit card bills and installment loans usually have places on the return slip for you to notify them of a change of address.

Some people don’t send you mail on a regular basis and it will be up to you to let them know about your new address. Below is a checklist to help you remember all the necessary parties.

  • Dentist
