Premium Forwarding Service

It’s Like Taking Your Mailbox With You

Residents who temporarily relocate to another U.S. address, such as a summer home, can count on having their mail forwarded for up to one year with Premium Forwarding Service.

The consumer value for using Premium Forwarding Service is that all mail is forwarded, including magazines and catalog subscriptions. Mail is reshipped once a week to the temporary location for a fee. Expedited services, such as Express Mail and Priority Mail, as well as Registered Mail, are forwarded separately at no extra charge.

Customers can enroll at the Post Office serving their permanent address. There is a one-time application fee of $10.00, and a weekly forwarding charge of $11.95. A government-issued photo ID and proof of permanent address are required.

Change-of-Address and Hold Mail services still are available at no charge.

It has 37,000 retail locations and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to pay for operating expenses, not tax dollars. The Postal Service has annual revenues of $75 billion and delivers nearly half the world’s mail.
