When Should I Change My Address When Moving?

Published June 9, 2013

Wait for it… wait for it… okay, now! C’mon, hurry!! Aww, too late…

Okay, changing your address isn’t that tough. However, there is a window for you to do it in. If you don’t, you might miss some mail.

You can choose the exact date mail starts getting forwarded to your new address. You just need to do it before you actually move, so you don’t miss any mail.

To be safe, have mail forwarded to your new address five (5) days before you move. That way, everything that enters the system starting five days prior will make its way to your new home and will probably be waiting for you when you arrive. Don’t do it any sooner, otherwise you’ll miss mail for too many days before you move.

For more questions about mail forwarding, check out how to change your address.
