Moving from one home to another requires a lot of tasks to accomplish, and one of which is to update the USPS (United States Postal Service) about your new mailing address. Doing the change will make sure that all of your important documents like subscriptions, letters from the services you have obtained, and newsletters from companies that might be of your interest will be mailed to your new address.
Before, in order to update your address from the post office, you need to personally visit their office, and fill out a lot of forms. This is one reason why some people find the task as a tedious process. Fortunately, updating your address today will not require too much of your time anymore.
With the new age of technology nowadays, updating your address in the post office is as easy as ABC! In fact, you can do the “change of address” in just a few minutes, without having to leave your home.
The USPS website provided a page where people from the US can change their mailing addresses online.
From the USPS website, all you need to do is enter all of the necessary information that is needed, go through the process of identity verification, and pay for the application, which is only $1. For just a small amount, you can save yourself from all the hassles of driving to the post office, be stuck in traffic, and perhaps consume at least half of your day, just doing so.
It is easy and safe to process your application, because the USPS website is secured, so there is nothing to worry about when paying for your application with your credit card.
Other than doing it over the USPS website, you can also find other third party companies that will do the process of changing your address. In fact, some people opt to work with these types of companies because you do not have to pay for anything, so there is no credit card involved. Same procedure will be done; fill out there form, and submit your information. The only downside that you might encounter when working with such companies are:
- You cannot rely on free service all the time.
- These companies might use your personal identification for something else.
Although there is no direct proof that the third party companies will do these, it is still best to be wise, and choose the company carefully, to make sure that your information will be kept safe, and not be distributed to telemarketing companies.
Anyway, to make sure that you are dealing with the right third party company to update your address, see if you will get some sort of verification coming from the postal company that you have successfully changed your address, which is in the form of a registered mail.
These are the different information that you might want to know, if you are looking to know of the ways, on how to change your mailing address with USPS.
