DMM REVISION

Methods of Filing Change-of-Address Orders

Effective October 12, 2006, we are revising the Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM) to allow the Postal ServiceTM to expand its method of accepting change-of-address orders. This change is necessary due to technological advancements in the Postal Automation Redirection System (PARS).
