Question: 1 / 400

Change of address is for what duration?

6 months

12 months

18 months

The duration for which a change of address is typically effective is 12 months. This means that once a person submits a request to have their mail forwarded to a new address, the United States Postal Service (USPS) will forward their mail to the new location for an entire year.

This period allows individuals to receive their mail at their new address without interruption while they transition and update their addresses with various entities, such as banks, subscription services, and personal contacts. After the 12-month period, the forwarding service will expire unless specifically renewed, and any mail sent to the old address will no longer be forwarded.

Although the choice of 18 months may imply a longer grace period, it is the 12-month duration that stands as the standard for a change of address request within the USPS system.
