Moving? Don’t Forget to Change Your Address!

July 6, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

As a buyer’s agent, it is important for me to inform my buyer’s on every little detail of the moving process. A very important piece of that process, which is sometimes forgotten until after the move, is to change your mailing address. Be proactive and take care of this before moving day so your mail will already be transferred the day you move into your new home. On the form you can specify the date you would like your mail transferred. There are two ways to change your mailing address: online or by filling out a quick form at any United States Postal Service location.

If you want to fill the form out online, please click the link below…just be ready with a debit or credit card that is connected to the billing address of either your previous or new address cause it will cost ya a $1 processing fee. Official Change of Address Form.

Looking to save a buck? Or your credit/debit card has a different address? Head on down to the nearest U.S. Postal Office and ask for the official change of address form. It’s quick, easy, and you can mail it in right there!
