Changing your mailing address with the United States Postal Service
Changing your mailing address is as easy as filling out a change of address form. You can submit this form online, in person, or through the mail. In the last year, thousands of people have had their mailing addresses changed without their knowledge. KPIX obtained Freedom of Information Act requests to various branches of the Postal Service. Through these requests, they discovered that the Postal Inspection Service (PIS) has received 17,077 complaints about fraudulent address changes and that the USPS has received 46,058 inquiries about the validity of change of address orders since January 2016.
You can request that USPS reroute your mail to a new address if you are moving. A change of address can take as little as three business days, but you can also request a permanent change. To do this, you must complete a change of address form and provide proof of your new address. If you want your mail to be forwarded immediately, you should fill out a temporary change of address form. If you do not have a temporary address, you can request a change of address form for 15 days to a year. Once your temporary change of address form is approved, your mail will be forwarded to your new address piece by piece.
Changing your address with your driver’s license or motor vehicle registration
If you need to change your address, you can update it online or visit your local DMV branch. Fill out Form MV-63 or MV-8 to change your mailing address. The form will then post to your vehicle’s record. Make sure that you have verified your address before submitting it. You must have proof of your legal name to change your address. For more information, visit the DMV website.
In most states, failing to update your license or registration is illegal. However, the penalty is minor: a fine and/or less than a year in jail. It is rare for the state to impose harsher penalties. Not only is updating your mailing address important for your identification, but it’s also crucial for your vehicle insurance provider. Most insurers use your place of residence when determining your insurance rate.
Changing your address with the IRS
If you have recently moved and need to update your IRS mailing address, it’s a good idea to do so now before tax season begins on Jan. 24. Changing your address with the IRS will avoid any delays in receiving your federal refund. You should also update your address with the United States Postal Service to avoid errors and delays in receiving your tax refund. Once you’ve made the change, make sure to notify the Social Security Administration and Medicare of your new address.
While a change of address may seem like a simple process, the IRS has many requirements for individuals and businesses. First, they require proof of identity and the current address. Additionally, if you have adult children who live with you, they need to submit a separate change of address form. These requirements are outlined on the IRS website. Once you’ve completed the necessary forms, submit them to the IRS office that’s appropriate for your situation.
