Effective September 29, 2016, the Postal Service™ is retiring a change-of-address form that has declined in popularity among customers.
PS Form 3575www, which is available on Mover’s Guide Online, is generated when customers use the site to submit a change-of-address order without providing a credit card for identity validation.
Although customers can print PS Form 3575www and submit it to USPS® for processing, many customers fail to do so.
Among the 36.9 million change-of-address orders submitted during the previous fiscal year, less than 1 percent were submitted using PS Form 3575www. Usage of the form has decreased about 39 percent since 2014.
Postal Service leaders say the decrease suggests more people are choosing to submit their change-of-address orders electronically, which comprised 41 percent of all orders last year.
