Confused on change of address and mail forwarding?
Mail is forwarded for free for a year to allow you to contact mailers and give them the correct address. Forwarding past a year requires paying for it. It is unrelated to reciving mail at your address that is addressed there. More on reddit.com

Change of address in person
I don't quite understand what the difficulty is; address couldn't be found, it means it's not a valid address to forward from. They can forward TO that address, as you discovered when you moved there. The issue is with the address - it might not be a valid rental, it might be a business address. Your county is the body that sets addresses and designates it as residential or commerical. More on reddit.com

r/USPS on Reddit: Confused on change of address and mail forwarding?
December 26, 2025 -

So I moved about a year ago into my apartment complex and recently renewed my lease. I haven’t been receiving any mail for over a week now so when I went into the post office they told me in order to continue receiving all my mail to my current address I have to extend mail forwarding for a fee for either 6months, 12 months or 18months.. But everyone around me including my parents say this isn’t true and they never had to do this every year to continue receiving mail to their address. So what is this mean? Do I have to extend my mail forwarding to continue receiving my mail? Or will I stop receiving mail entirely? Or does it only mean any mail with my old address won’t be delivered until I change my address with the senders? I’m so confused and need help before I pay for something I can’t afford rn

January 20, 2026 -

am I crazy to believe that if I changed my address & paid the fee for it to be changed, obviously I want my mail to be delivered to the freaking address I put in the change of address.

TL; DR

*Well basically…

Like what people mentioned here about the yellow stickers they put on mail that has the wrong original addy on it and says notify sender of COA.

I freak out about everything & was thinking you must always keep paying for the forwarding to keep receiving any of your own mail.
