Are you moving soon?
00:01
Well, you might want to listen up then, as the United States Postal Service has changed
00:04
their change of address policy.
00:06
Historically, when changing your address, you would simply head on over to the USPS
00:10
website, fill out the form, and pay a small fee.
00:13
After that, you'd be good to go, and they'd even forward your mail for a period of time,
00:16
giving you the ability to update your address with whomever might be mailing you.
00:20
Now, however, you'll have to provide proof of identity, whether you're changing it in
00:24
person, online, or by mail.
00:26
The change of address forms remain essentially unchanged, but at the end of the request,
00:29
that's where things get more complicated.
00:31
After forms are filled and fees are paid, you will then be sent a QR code.
00:35
That code must then be taken in person to a post office branch, where you will have
00:39
to show ID before the address change will go through.
00:42
James McKean, the United States Postal Service public relations rep, recently told Fox Business,
00:46
quote, "If the customer does not go into a retail location and present proper identification,
00:51
or they do not enter the activation code they receive, their change of address is not activated."
00:56
They say the new identity verification steps are meant to prevent fraudulent activity,
01:00
though they did not provide any metrics on how often that type of thing occurs.
