How To Change A Mailing Address And Have Mail Forwarded
Are you about to move but have no idea how to change your mailing address or get you mail forwarded to your new mailing address? Well it is so simple and can be done right on line. I’ll tell you how.
Not only is it very important to update the United States Post Office with your new valid mailing address but it also very important to have any mail that will still be addressed to your old address forwarded to your new address. It’s pretty tough to contact everyone individually that might be sending you mail to have them change your mailing address.
If You Feel Like Getting Out And About
For those of you that find it important to leave the house on a daily basis you could add a trip to the post office to drop off your official change of address form as one of your outings. You could either wait until you get to the post office and fill out the change of address form there or you could go to the United States Post Office site, fill out the Official Change of Address Form and then print it out.
If You Don’t Like To Go Out But Do Like To Use Stamps
Here’s an idea, instead of having to hand deliver the official change of address form to the United States Post Office…why don’t you mail it there? You would go to the same Official Change Of Address Form only this way you don’t leave your house. You put it in an envelope, put a stamp on it, put it in your mailbox…presto chango.
If You Don’t Like To Use Stamps
For those of you who would rather do things the easy way (I fall into this category) you can submit your change of address form on line. This is by far the most convenient way of ensuring that your address is officially changed with the United States Post Office. What’s easiest isn’t always the cheapest. This convenience is going to set you back $1.00. Also a great way to find people online as well.
Let’s review: There are three ways to change your mailing address with the United States Post Office. All require the Official Change of Address Form which you can obtain at the post office or online. You can hand deliver, mail or submit the form via the internet.

USPS Change of Address form 3575 is NOT available online, because you cannot print it, unless you provide a US verifiable address. The system will NOT let you print the form if you try to submit a change to a foreign address.
You literally have to cross the border into the US to get this form at a local post office in person, before you can register a foreign address.
They have some really smart people doing their programming for them.
You simply cannot print the form from an online source and mail it. It is not even listed under *.pdf “forms” on the USPS site.

I live here in the US, and I cannot get USPS Form 3575 on the USPS website, either. What a crock. All I want to do is print and send the damn form. What’s the deal?

THIS is what everyone is looking for: http://www.bybryson.com/moving_guide/subpages/Address.doc
The only caveat might be if revisions were made after May 2008 thereby nullifying this version somehow.
I’m using it anyway. After two weeks of searching (I’m stubborn), I’m glad to have found this.

Thank you, Elaine! I am trying to change address for my mother, who is moving into assisted living, and my father, who just passed away. Mom won’t do anything via the internet, and she’d already ruined half a dozen of the paper forms from the post office in one way or another (all that junk with each one, as well!) I printed out ttwo blank forms and filled them in for her and Dad. She can sign them and that’ll be done. One more thing off the list of moving chores.
I read that the USPS saves a substantial amount for every internet change of address (as opposed to paper) that is filed. Perhaps that is why you can’t print off the form at their site without entering your email, etc.

The online COA process doesn’t work if you designate a mail forwarding service as your new address. The new address must be residential and not flagged as a company in the USPS database. I’m in Asia now and can’t seem to convince the post office I want my mail forwarded to my forwarding address. I spoke with them by phone and they’re 100% bureaucrats– have zero common sense. They claim only way for me to forward is to return to the US and fill out the form in person.

Many clerks in the goverhment institutions in the US not only haven’t got any common sense.They are highly undeducated too. I moved to Norway and wanted to ask to stop temporary forwarding of my mail and they suggested going to the post office in Norway to ask for that service….No comments. I asked them if they know wher Norway is? Just hang up the phone and added one more thing to my evaluation of those people besides not having common sense and being uneducated-which is no Culture!!!
I can’t find the form to print out and send mail forwarding cancellation.
