ARE YOU READY FOR MOVE UPDATE?

The Postal Service is stepping up its efforts to reduce undeliverable-as-addressed (UAA) mail. On Nov. 23, new Move Update standards take effect. To be ready, mailers must begin using addresses that were updated no earlier than Aug. 20. The Move Update standards provide options for customers to reduce the number of mailpieces that require forwarding, return or being treated as waste by periodically matching address records with customer-filed change-of-address orders.

The Postal Service is promoting use of the Intelligent Mail barcode because it expands the ability to track individual mailpieces and provide customers with greater visibility into the mailstream.
