Effective November 4, 2024, the Postal Service™ will revise Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®), section 507.2.0, to delete information that has become redundant because of an enhancement to the Postal Service Internet Change of Address (ICOA) filing procedure.
Previously, the Postal Service only allowed customers to submit one change-of-address request in a single transaction. On May 30, 2024, the Postal Service deployed an enhancement to the filing procedure via the ICOA application Mover’s Guide Online (MGO), available at moversguide.usps.com. Customers are now able to submit up to 99 change-of-address requests in a single transaction. As a result of this enhancement, DMM section 507.2.1.6, “Temporary Business Bulk Forwarding,” is no longer applicable and will be deleted.
Although The Postal Service will not publish this revision in the DMM until November 4, 2024, this standard is effective immediately.
