Changing your mailing address with USPS is relatively simple and straightforward. You can visit your local post office and request a form for change of address. You can also change the address online through moversguide.usps.com which is a highly advisable method if the local post office is too far or you don't have time to visit during office hours. The process is also the same however but you will have to pay a non-refundable amount of $1.10 for verification fee. After the transaction is complete and verified, you will receive your confirmation code through email. If you requested to change your address through your local post office, you should also receive a confirmation code.
Permanent or Temporary Change of Address and Advance Notice
USPS offers two types of change of address: permanent change of address and temporary. The temporary change of address is offered by USPS in case the mail has to be delivered temporarily at your new location. The fee is also $1.10 and they can forward your mail temporarily from 15 days up to 364 days. USPS also accepts requests for extension of additional 18 months but it will come with additional fee.
A very important note to remember about extension of mail forwarding requests: this process cannot be changed or canceled. Once completed, the mail will continue to forward until the agreed extension. Make sure that the request for mail extension should be according to your schedule. The fee mail forwarding extension is non-refundable.

Watching Out for Scams
USPS websites for changing of address and modifying the said change are very easy to navigate and customer friendly. However, there are still websites that act as 3rd party processors of these types of requests. USPS does not recognize these websites because they might end up stealing their visitors' personal information or charge them without processing their needs. If this happens, USPS does not give refunds to those who transacted on 3rd party websites.
Managing your move through USPS should be one of the priorities if you're planning to move. While it's important to ensure your personal belongings are safe when you move, your mail should be with you when you are at your new address. Carefully plan your moving date so you could arrange your request at your local USPS or online. For any change of plans or extension of mail forwarding, USPS also allows modifications or even cancellations. Just make sure you have the confirmation code to easily access your information online.
