In addition to providing change of address (COA) information and processing COA applications, the Sacramento postal district will grant fire victims six months of free PO Box service.
- Customers are allotted one free, size 1, PO Box that may be obtained for each potential carrier delivery point of service affected or destroyed by the fires (one box per affected address at one of the locations listed below). Customers are required to bring proper photo ID in order to validate address affected.
- Customers must submit a Change of Address (COA) from their affected street address to their newly assigned PO Box number. These COAs can be done online at usps.com, or if they prefer to fill out a hard copy COA form, they can be obtained/dropped off at any local Post Office or deposited into the mail.
