Helpful Answers

Common questions when switching

A few important things to know before you close your existing mailbox.

Will mail automatically move to my new address?

No. Mail is not automatically moved from one Traveling Mailbox account to another. Update your senders directly and manage any remaining items in your former account.

Do I need to complete another USPS Form 1583?

Yes. A new USPS Form 1583 is needed for each recipient on your new mailbox account.

What happens to mail already scanned in my current account?

Scanned mail does not automatically transfer. Save any documents you want to retain before closing your old mailbox.

When is the right time to cancel the old mailbox?

Once you have verified that mail is reaching your new address and dealt with any outstanding mail at your original location.
