How do you check if my mail is being forwarded?
Call 1-800-ASK-USPS and ask to be transferred to the post office in the city where you previously lived if you have not begun to receive your forwarded mail. Talk to the postmaster or clerk in that office to check the status of your address change.
Can you redirect mail yourself?
Forwarding mail to yourself: This can be done online via the USPS website or by visiting the post office. If you apply for mail forwarding in the post office, you’ll have to take two forms of ID with you. You can either file for a temporary or permanent change of address.
Can you redirect post for free?

What do you do if you receive someone else’s mail?
If you’re not sure what to do with mail that isn’t yours, it’s probably easier than you think to get rid of it legally. All you need to do is write “RETURN TO SENDER” on the front of the envelope and put it back in your mailbox. Your postal worker will take care of it for you from there.
Do I have to forward previous tenants mail?
Your former landlord is not under any legal obligation to go to any effort to forward your mail. Furthermore, generally speaking, it will not actually be your former landlord that receives your mail, but rather the tenants that moved in after you vacated.
What mail will not be forwarded?
Standard Mail A (circulars, books, catalogs, and advertising mail) is not forwarded unless requested by the mailer. Standard Mail B (packages weighing 16 ounces or more) are forwarded locally for 12 months at no charge. You pay forwarding charges if you move outside the local area.
