How to Register a New Address With a Post Office
- 1). Prepare your new mailbox. In some dense residential areas and multi-unit housing complexes, the post office delivery person may request that you put your name in the mailbox in order to start delivery. In most apartments, this is done for you. If you are simply moving into a new residence for the first time and do not need to forward any old mail, you do not need to complete the steps below.
- 2). Gather your old address, new address and credit card and point your web browser to usps.com and click on "Change Your Address." It is also a good idea to have a list of bills and magazines that you want moved to the new address. The post office offers a notification service that you can complete while filling out the change of address forms.
- 3). Click on the start button and follow the prompts on the screen. You have to designate if your move is temporary or permanent, a start date (and end date if applicable), if you are moving or if an entire family is moving, both addresses and an email address for confirmation.
