Start My Free Checklist →Filing a USPS change of address only forwards your mail — it doesn't actually update your address with banks, insurance, the DMV, or anyone else. Here's the complete list.
Skip the hassle
AddressGenie updates your address with USPS and 6,000+ organizations in one form — banks, utilities, insurance, subscriptions, and government agencies. One form, $39.95, done in minutes.
See How It Works →You need to notify USPS (mail forwarding), the DMV (driver's license and vehicle registration), the IRS (Form 8822), Social Security Administration, all banks and credit cards, insurance companies (auto, home, health, life), utility providers (electric, gas, water, internet), your employer, healthcare providers, schools, subscription services, and voter registration. Our free checklist tracks all 128 notification tasks across 14 categories.
File a USPS change of address online at usps.com for $1.10, or for free in person at your local post office using PS Form 3575. Start forwarding at least 1 week before your move. Important: USPS forwarding only redirects mail — it does not update your address with banks, utilities, insurance, or other organizations.
Start planning at least 8 weeks before your move date. Begin with hiring movers, creating a budget, and decluttering. At 4 weeks out, file your USPS change of address and begin the critical notification phase — banks, utilities, insurance, and government agencies. The final 2 weeks are for packing and confirming logistics.
Not with USPS — they only forward your mail. AddressGenie lets you update your address with USPS and 6,000+ organizations in one form for $39.95, including banks, credit cards, utilities, insurance, and government agencies. For free, you can use our Don't Forget™ checklist to track which organizations you've notified.
Failing to update your address can lead to missed bills and late fees, insurance coverage gaps, lost tax refunds, identity theft from mail at your old address, expired vehicle registration, and inability to vote. Most states legally require you to update your DMV records within 30 days of moving.
