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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Today is 24 September 2008.
I went to the U.S. Post Office and FILLED out a change of address form and TURNED it in!!!
The U.S. Post Office is STILL sending mail to my OLD address!!
This was OVER a month ago.

My OLD address was 13607 E Bates Avenue #407 Aurora CO 80014.
My NEW address is 2768 S Killarney Way Aurora CO 80013.

Now what?
