The USPS Now Requires Identification For Changes Of Address

If a customer fails to present proper identification or activate the received code at a retail location, their change of address will not be processed.

The United States Postal Service is now enforcing a new address verification policy.

The new policy requires customers to verify their identity before submitting a ‘change of address’ request for packages. Once you take the necessary steps, you will receive an email containing a QR code. You then have to bring your ID and the code in person to your local post office to make an update.

If a customer fails to present proper identification or activate the received code at a retail location, their change of address will not be processed.

The new policy aims to prevent fraudulent requests.
