forwarding address

Mail redirection destination

A forwarding address is where mail should be sent after someone moves or leaves a location.

When you change residences, you file a forwarding address with the postal service so mail continues to reach you: She left no forwarding address.

The phrase often implies someone has departed without wanting to be found.
