[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”8361″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]A change of address is one of the most important moving tasks. It\u2019s generally neglected as well. It\u2019s essential that companies you hold accounts with are informed of your move. It\u2019s also important that family and friends have your new address. Apartment address updating is painless, especially with the help of today\u2019s modern technology.<\/p>\n

12 Month Forwarding <\/strong><\/p>\n

The first thing you need to do is update your address with the United States Postal Service. This will ensure that any mail sent through it will be forwarded to your new address. This is not an end-all solution, but a temporary fix. The USPS will only do this for 12 months.<\/p>\n

The 12-month period only applies to important mail such as that from the IRS or your financial institution. Catalogs and less important letters will not be forwarded. These will continue to be sent your previous mailbox.<\/p>\n

Update your contact info online through the USPS<\/a> and IRS<\/a> via their respective websites. \u00a0You\u2019ll have to pay USPS $1 to complete the update online. You can also pick up the free Mover\u2019s Guide Packet from any Post Office. It\u2019s possible to set both the start and end dates. The longest period you can choose is 1 year. Once six months have passed, you can get six more.<\/p>\n

Manual Update List<\/strong><\/p>\n

While the USPS is sending your important documents to your new apartment you need to make this a permanent change. You\u2019ll need to make a list of all the places you must update your contact info. Though you have 12 months before your mail forwarding request expires, it\u2019s best to get this done as soon as possible. \u00a0Here are some common examples to help you brainstorm your contact list.<\/p>\n
