Change Of Address Oregon USPS
If you are planning to move, there are a lot of things that need to happen to make everything go smoothly. Purging closets, packing up boxes, scheduling movers, and transitioning your utility services from your old place to your new one are just some of the many things that have to come together. But don’t forget to change your address at the United States Postal Service (USPS — i.e., the post office)! This will ensure you get your mail once you move in so you aren’t behind on any important correspondence. And when it comes to a change of address (Oregon USPS), it’s easy to do!
CHANGE OF ADDRESS OREGON: STEP-BY-STEP
The first step to update your address change request is to notify the postal service of your move. To do this, you will need a change of address form. Simply visit your local post office and fill one out or go online to the USPS mover’s guide and fill out the USPS change of address form there.
You will need your original address, of course, plus your new mailing address to receive mail, products or services there. Please note that there are temporary change-of-address request forms, too; make sure you’re using the right form (PS Form 3575) to mark a permanent change of address. (Government agencies have loads of forms for many different services!)
Temporary changes of address can last anywhere from 15 days to a year. Next, indicate if you are an individual, family, or business, what your contact information is, and if the move is temporary or permanent. Next, you’ll need to enter the date that you want the postal service to begin forwarding your mail to the new address.
PROCESSES
It’s important to note that the date can’t be more than 30 days prior to the day you’re filling out the form, or more than three months from that date. Once you submit the form, the mail should arrive at your new address in seven to ten postal business days after your effective move date. In addition, if you file your change of address online, you will need a valid email address and a credit card to process a small $1.05 fee.

Another thing to think about when moving to Oregon or to another residence in Oregon is letting the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) know. This needs to happen within 30 days of moving and can be done online or by calling the Department of Motor Vehicle services line at 503-945-5000.
Depending on when you alert the DMV of a change of address, you shouldn’t need to take a driving test or any other special steps (they no longer have address stickers, either). This will also change your voter registration information unless you tell them NOT to change it.
When you change your address with the State of Oregon DMV, they will send you an updated vehicle registration record card. You can write your new address on the registration card at that point.
