Now that you have moved your belongings to your new home in another location, it is important to change Your Address to get your mail and utility bills on time.
1. Changing Your Mailing Address
You can update your mailing address with the USPS or United States Postal Service at my-moving-resources.com. The USPS maintains the record containing your previous residential address, and when you update your new address, the post office will forward all mail and packages to the new address automatically for six months. You will have to pay a fee of $1 for verifying your identity when you change your address online. You can use your debit card or credit card to pay the $1 fee. Or you can obtain Form 3575 from your local post office to change your new address.
Ways To Change Addresses Through USPS
The United States Postal Service provides three basic ways to get mail to your latest address. They are:
Application
You can fill out an application that asks for basic personal information and your new address to help you get the mail to your latest address instead of the earlier one. This free service is available for a specific period, after which the emails will be returned to your old address or redirected to the sender.
Premium Forwarding Service
Avail of the premium forwarding service offered by the USPS to get your mail forwarded to the updated address temporarily. If you have two homes and wish to stay in one location for a short period, then this option will be helpful.
Delivery Service
If you have moved to a new town and don’t have a permanent address, then choose the delivery service option to get your emails from the post office directly.
2. Update Billing Address
It is important to pay your credit card bills on time, which might get delayed if you don’t update your billing address. To ensure that you are getting all the bills before the payment date, draw a list of bills you will receive in paper format and then update the address by contacting the respective service. You can save time by updating your address online without leaving the comfort of your residence.
3. Update Catalog And Magazine Subscriptions
It is easy to update your residential address for catalog and magazine subscriptions online. You just have to click on their website link and enter your customer number to access their change of address form online. Or, you can call the publishing house and ask for the procedure to change the address.
4. Inform Your Friends And Loved Ones
Make sure that you inform your relatives and friends that you have moved to a new area, as soon as you have settled down. You can prepare a list of people you wish to inform to save more time. You can send an email specifying your new address or create a personalized message for each to notify about your change of address.
