What You Will Need

  • Your complete new address, including zip code. If you don't know your zip code, please check the United States Postal Service Zip Code directory before continuing.
  • Your new phone number or a number we can use to contact you, if this has changed.

What To Expect

  • To protect everyone's privacy, each person who wants to change his or her address must request it. For example, your spouse and other members of your household will need to each log on to do this.
  • You can decide when your change of address will take effect.
  • There are time limits for your work on each page. You will receive a warning after 25 minutes, and you will be able to extend your time on the page. After the third warning on a page, you must move to another page or your time will run out, and your work on that page will be lost.
  • If you have turned JavaScript off in your browser, you will not receive any warnings.
