3 Move Update

3-1 Program Overview

The Move Update standard requires the periodic matching of a mailer’s address records with customer-filed Change-of-Address (COA) orders maintained by the Postal Service. Mailers must reconcile their mailing address list within 95 days prior to the electronic postage statement finalization date with one of the Postal Service-approved methods or a surcharge is assessed.

The Census Process is a method for evaluating Move Update compliance and assessing errors as mail is processed through the mail stream by using data collected from MPE. The results of the verification are displayed on the Electronic Verification tab of the Mailer Scorecard.
