Moving? Don’t Miss a Beat—Tell Royal Mail Your New Address!
Moving house is thrilling but chaos-packed. Among the endless to-dos, one crucial task stands out: alerting Royal Mail about your new digs.
Luckily, Royal Mail’s handy Redirection service means your post can follow you, whether you’re moving within the UK or overseas. This applies to both personal and business customers.
Why Updating Your Address Is a Must
Don’t risk missing vital mail or falling victim to scams. Here’s why you need to update Royal Mail pronto:
- No More Missed Mail: Keep receiving all your important letters and documents on time.
- Shield Against Fraud: Stop your mail landing in the wrong hands and protect your identity.
- Grab Exclusive Offers: Moving home can unlock special deals just for you.
Post Redirection: What’s the Damage?
It does cost to redirect your post. Prices start at £36, covering 3, 6, or 12-month options across UK or international moves. But if you’re on Universal Credit or Pension Credit, concession rates are available.
What You Need to Get Started
- Household Details: Names and birth dates of everyone whose mail you want redirected.
- Old & New Addresses: Full addresses with postcodes.
- Five Days’ Notice: Tell Royal Mail at least 5 working days before you want the service to begin.
- Payment: Have your credit or debit card ready.
How to Redirect Your Post in a Flash
- Apply Online: Register or log in to your Royal Mail account and fill out the redirection form.
- Visit a Post Office: Pop into your nearest branch and set it up in person.
If you’re moving due to domestic abuse, avoid applying at the Post Office. Instead, check Royal Mail’s website for advice on keeping your identity safe and managing your mail securely.
Don’t let your post get lost in the shuffle. Update your Royal Mail address today and keep life flowing smoothly at your new home!
