The USPS Change of Address form tells USPS to forward mail from your previous address to your Stable address. It's the fastest way to start receiving mail at Stable.
If you've started the change of address process in your Stable dashboard, you'll find a task with a video walkthrough and step-by-step guidance. You can also complete the form directly on the USPS website.
How to complete the form
1. Fill in your previous address information
Enter the address you're forwarding mail from. Note that mail cannot be forwarded from another virtual address.
2. Include all names you receive mail under
If you’re operating a business under multiple names, select "my business goes by another name" and include all names. USPS only forwards mail for the names listed on the form. You can also add individual names.
3. Format your Stable address using PMB
When entering your Stable address, use "PMB" (private mailbox) instead of "#" or "STE." For example: "2261 Market St PMB 800." Always include your unique unit number.
4. Check your address on the verification page
On the "Verify your information" page, make sure PMB is not repeated. USPS may automatically add it.
5. Use a matching billing address
Your card's billing address must match either your old address or your new Stable address. If it doesn't match, update your card before submitting.
6. Save your confirmation email
After submitting, watch for a confirmation email from USPS and keep it for your records. You'll need it to make changes later. USPS may also call to confirm your request.
How long does it take?
Processing typically takes 7-10 days. Once active, forwarded mail will display a yellow sticker when it arrives at Stable.
