ByUSPS Change Of Address For A New Apartment Number
Not every move requires a big moving truck and several strong people. Sometimes, a better home is just down the hall, or on another floor of the apartment building you already live in. It's as easy as packing up a box, walking it to your new apartment, and repeating until you're all moved in. But, don't forget that even though your apartment number is the only thing that's changing, you still need to apply for a USPS change of address.
Even if you're only moving across the hall, your mailing address is changing and you need to notify the post office. Otherwise, your mail may end up being delivered to your old address, returned to the sender, or lost. You can file a USPS change of address for a new apartment number or you can leave it to DoNotPay to ensure your mailing address is properly changed.
How Much Time Do You Have to File a Change of Address With USPS?
In most states, you have 7 to 10 days to change your legal address when you move. That means you need to get down to the DMV to change your address as soon as you can. Changing your address with USPS is important since recent mail can be used to prove you have moved. You can apply to change your address with the post office in advance, allowing you time to notify anyone who sends you mail. But, with everything going on with the move, it's probably not going to be the first thing on your mind.
How Much Does it Cost to File a Change of Address?
If you choose to file a change of address for a new apartment number through the USPS website, you'll have to pay a nominal fee of $1.10 to verify your identity. That means you'll need to enter a valid credit or debit card into the form in order to process an online address change. You can avoid a charge by obtaining a physical copy of the address change form from your local post office and completing it as instructed.
How to Change Your USPS Apartment Number Address
Moving to a new apartment in the same building may not take a lot of time or resources, but it still presents some unique challenges. For example, you need to make sure your mailing address reflects your new apartment number. If you want to do this yourself you'll need to:
- Obtain a copy of the change of address form (or access it online)
- Fill in the information requested regarding the address you're moving out of
- Provide the new address including the correct apartment number.
- Choose whether this address change is for one person or the entire family.
- Check the box noting whether this is a permanent or temporary address change.
- Sign the form and submit (or mail the physical copy).
- Wait for the address change to take effect.
