What is the maximum duration for a temporary change of address service?

The maximum duration for a temporary change of address service is one year. This means that when a customer temporarily moves and requests their mail to be forwarded to a different address, they can set this service for up to 12 months. This period allows customers to manage their mail delivery effectively during their absence without the need for more permanent arrangements.

A temporary change of address is designed for individuals who may be relocating for a short period, such as college students or those on extended travel. This one-year limit is enforced to ensure proper mail management and to facilitate the efficient handling of postal services, while also preventing indefinite mail forwarding that could cause confusion or delay.
