Why am I not getting mail after changing address?
Make sure you changed your address with the USPS. If you don’t file a change-of-address request, your mail will continue to arrive at your old address – so you won’t be getting it after the move. If you changed your address with the USPS, but your mail is still missing, you need to verify that the request went through.
