Mail a change of address letter online

Some institutions only update your address from a written, signed letter — banks, the IRS, insurance companies, professional licenses, and pension administrators are common. Type your address change letter, attach ID, and we mail it through USPS within 24 hours.

How it works

Four steps. Most letters take under two minutes from sign-in to mailed.

  1. 1

    Write your change of address letter

    Include full legal name, old address, new address, effective date, and your account or client number.

  2. 2

    Attach ID copies if required

    Some institutions (banks, IRS) require a copy of government ID with the letter. Up to five attachments.

  3. 3

    Enter the recipient address

    Each institution has a different address — use the one printed on your statement or letter.

  4. 4

    We mail within 24 hours

    You receive a dated email confirmation. The PDF copy is kept on your order page.

Frequently asked questions

Why mail an address change instead of updating online?

Many institutions allow online updates, but some still require a written, signed letter — particularly banks, pension administrators, the IRS, and state professional licensing boards. If you logged in and could not find an "update address" option, the institution is likely one of these.

What should I include in the letter?

Full legal name, account or client number, your old address, your new address, the effective date, and your signature. Attach ID copies if the institution requires them.

Should I send by Certified Mail?

For banks, the IRS, and pension administrators, Certified Mail with Return Receipt provides proof the institution received the update. PostPal mails standard First-Class Mail; for Certified Mail, contact us before paying.

Can I update USPS mail forwarding through PostPal?

No. USPS mail forwarding (Change of Address with USPS) is a separate USPS product — you must arrange that directly with USPS or at usps.com. PostPal handles writing to specific institutions to update your address with them.

How many separate letters will I need?

One letter per institution. Most movers send 8-15 separate change-of-address letters (bank, credit cards, IRS, pension, insurance, doctor, dentist, professional license, employer, etc.). PostPal lets you queue them up in sequence and mail in one session.
