Change of Address? USPS Will Confirm

Back to blog

wow

Wow, are these comments for real? are these real people?? These are the most asinine, pointless, unintelligible comments I've ever seen.

As for the USPS, they are worthless for both privacy protection and identity verification. What else would you expect? I certainly don't feel comfortable relying on them to prevent someone from changing my address without authorization, and I have my reservations about giving them my credit card information to change my address.

But then, what did you expect in this country? When was the last time someone at the supermarket even bothered looking at the signature on your credit card?

I've moved around a lot in the last few years and the letter I receive with the address change, does state the new address. We had to get a PO box to get my husband's mail away from him ex wife's house without her getting the new address because of this very reason.

Also, there is no id checked. I print the form on line, or pick up at the PO office and simply sign my name. No one knows whether it's really me or not...but that's the extent of the "ID CHECK."

It's really not that complicated to do, and it could easily be done by an ex and mail could be forwarded before you start to notice the problem, let alone get it corrected.

How would you know?

if someone is collecting your mail in another state and usimg your name? I have been getting my mail at mom's house and all my old mail never made it here. It did for a couple days and then it stopped. Mom is disabled and I am helping her out but my name is not on the post office computer just on the card.I lived in Georgia and Alabama for awhile and my mail of importance never made it to me even with a change of address.

Confirm Address Change

To whom it may concern, My name is Elike Thomas Reeves, I applied and took the USPS exam in PLEASANTVILLE, Aug 15,2008, I notified the person giving the exam that my address had changed, she explained that I had to use the address on my exam notification in order to proceed and to later notify the USPS, about my changed address. I have not as of yet, recieved anything concerning my test results, and would like to know about my results and in my address change had been successful.
