forwarding mail

Postal address transfer

Forwarding mail is the practice of redirecting postal correspondence from one address to another, typically when someone has moved.

The postal service holds mail sent to the old address and sends it on to the new one: We set up mail forwarding before we left.

The service usually requires a fee and expires after a set period.
