What is the main purpose of the Change of Address kit?

The main purpose of the Change of Address kit is to notify the USPS of a permanent address change. When a customer fills out this kit, they are formally requesting that all mail addressed to their previous address be redirected to their new permanent address. This process ensures that important correspondence, packages, and other mail continue to reach the customer without interruption.

When customers move, it is crucial for them to maintain communication with businesses, government agencies, and personal contacts. By using the Change of Address kit, they provide the necessary information to ensure that their mail arrives at the right location, which is especially important for sensitive documents and regular bills. This tool streamlines the transition and helps prevent lost or misdelivered mail, reinforcing the USPS's role in ensuring reliable communication for its customers.
