It's never been easier to change your mailing address with the U.S. Postal Service. Although you can no longer print the USPS Change of Address form from your computer, there are alternatives. You can submit your address change on the USPS.com website for a small fee or pick up the paper forms at any USPS location and fill them out for free.

At one time, being able to print PS Form 3575 from the USPS website was a convenience. It saved you the trouble of making a trip to the post office to pick one up. However, as technology advanced, printing out the form and taking it to the nearest location or dropping it in the mail became an inconvenience. You now notify the USPS of your change of address using the online change-of-address service.

Completing your change of address online isn't free. The USPS charges a $1.05 fee for verifying your identity, but it saves you a trip to the post office, so you can factor in what you save on gas, not to mention the value of your time.

If you want to save the fee, or you aren't comfortable giving your credit card number for identity verification, you can always pick up PS form 3575 from your nearest post office and submit it directly to the clerk behind the counter. You'll usually find these in the area where other forms are set out for customers. It's often inside a booklet called Mover's Guide.

The Change-of-Address Process

To get started completing your change of address online, go to moversguide.usps.com/mgo-m/ and select Get Started. The site walks you through the process. There are typically coupons and offers as part of the online Mover's Guide. You can print these to use later.
