Yes, changing your address with the USPS is free if you do it in person at a local Post Office by filling out a PS Form 3575 from a Movers Guide packet, but filing online at USPS.com requires a small, one-time $1.10 identity verification fee to prevent fraud, so always use the official USPS.com/move site or go in-person for no fee. Free in-person option Visit: Go to your local Post Office. Get: Ask for the free Movers Guide packet. Fill: Complete the PS Form 3575 inside the packet. Submit: Give it to the postal worker with a photo ID for identity verification. Online option (with fee) Use the official USPS.com/move website to submit your request online. Be aware of the $1.10 identity validation fee when filing online, which is a standard charge for credit card verification, not a fee for the service itself. Important notes Beware of scams: Third-party websites may charge high fees for what you can do for free or cheap through USPS. Timing: File at least two weeks before your move. Confirmation: Youll get a Move Validation Letter and a welcome packet.
