Registering your new business address with the United States Postal Service allows you to ensure that all old mail gets redirected to your new address. The USPS offers three options for registering an address: online, by telephone or by completing a form in person at a local Post Office. The only option that doesn't require you to pay a fee involves going to the post office in person or mailing a completed Change of Address form. You can also request a Change of Address form from your mail carrier.
