What is the minimum duration for which premium forwarding service can be active?

The minimum duration for which the premium forwarding service can be active is established as 2 weeks. This service is designed for customers who need their mail forwarded temporarily to an alternative address, typically because they are away from their primary residence for a period of time.

Enabling premium forwarding for at least 2 weeks ensures that customers can receive their mail efficiently and without interruption while they are not at their usual address. This timeframe also allows the USPS to streamline processing and help maintain service quality during the forwarding period.

The options that reflect durations shorter than 2 weeks do not meet the service's operational requirements, while a duration longer than 2 weeks is not considered the minimum threshold necessary for activation. Therefore, 2 weeks is the correct and minimum duration for premium forwarding service.
