Why this topic matters

Address-change forms are not interchangeable. USPS Change of Address is for mail forwarding, while IRS Form 8822 and Form 8822-B update IRS address records for future tax correspondence. PostalForm can prepare an unsigned Form 8822 or address/location-only Form 8822-B kit and mail it to the customer for hand signing, final routing review, and personal submission. PostalForm does not file the form with the IRS.

Change of address form / address change form First decide whether you need USPS mail forwarding, an IRS record update, or both. One form does not update every sender. Use the official USPS or IRS route for the update you need.
USPS or post office change-of-address form USPS Change of Address is for forwarding mail. USPS says online COA requests use identity verification and a $1.25 authentication fee, while hardcopy PS Form 3575 is acquired at a local Post Office. Use USPS.com or a local Post Office for COA forwarding.
IRS change-of-address form IRS Form 8822 is for an individual home mailing address change. IRS Form 8822-B is for business mailing address, business location, or responsible-party changes. Download the current official form, follow its signature instructions, and use the address selected by the current instructions.
Change-of-address forms PDF / printable Printable address-change PDFs still need the right signature, recipient, and mailing address. Use the current official PDF and instructions; do not rely on a stored third-party copy.
Free change-of-address form online Official IRS and USPS sources control the form or COA request. Watch for third-party USPS COA lookalikes that charge unnecessary fees. Use official USPS/IRS sources for the request itself.

Who to notify when you move — most moves need more than one update: USPS mail forwarding (USPS.com or a Post Office), the IRS (Form 8822 for personal tax mail, Form 8822-B for a business), your state DMV (license and registration deadlines are state-specific), voter registration, Social Security or Medicare if you receive benefits, and then banks, insurers, employers, and subscriptions. USPS forwarding is temporary — it buys time while you update each sender directly.

When to use these workflows

  • You searched for a change of address form, address change form, or printable change-of-address PDF and need to pick the correct route.
  • You moved and need to mail IRS Form 8822 for an individual home mailing address update.
  • A business mailing address, business location, or responsible party changed and IRS Form 8822-B applies.
  • You need the current official source for an IRS or USPS address update.
  • You searched for a USPS or post office change-of-address form and need to confirm whether you need USPS forwarding, an IRS address update, or both.

FAQs

Where do I get a USPS change-of-address form?
USPS says Change of Address requests can be submitted online at USPS.com or in person at a local Post Office. The hardcopy Change of Address Order, PS Form 3575, is available from the local Post Office within the Mover's Guide packet.
Is USPS Change of Address free?
USPS says an online Change of Address request has a $1.25 authentication fee. USPS also warns that third-party sites may charge much more and that USPS is not affiliated with those sites.
Is a post office change-of-address form the same as IRS Form 8822?
No. USPS Change of Address is for forwarding mail. IRS Form 8822 and Form 8822-B update IRS address records. The IRS says USPS forwarding may update some records from USPS data, but you should still notify the IRS when your IRS mailing address changes.
Can PostalForm submit a USPS Change of Address request?
No. Use the official USPS Change of Address process online or at a Post Office for mail forwarding. PostalForm does not submit a USPS forwarding request.
Can I fill out IRS Form 8822 online and mail it?
PostalForm can prepare an unsigned Form 8822 kit and mail it to you. You must review the current instructions, obtain every required handwritten signature, remove the PostalForm cover, and personally submit the form to the correct current IRS destination.
Which form changes a business address with the IRS?
Individuals commonly use Form 8822 for home mailing address changes. Businesses and other entities with an EIN application on file use Form 8822-B for business mailing address, business location, or responsible-party changes. PostalForm's Form 8822-B customer kit supports address and location changes only; use the current official IRS form and instructions for a responsible-party change.
How long does an IRS address change take?
The IRS says an address-change request can generally take four to six weeks after receipt to fully process.
Can I print a USPS change-of-address form (PS Form 3575)?
USPS does not offer PS Form 3575 as a download on USPS.com. The hardcopy form is available at a local Post Office in the Mover’s Guide packet, and online requests go through the official USPS.com Change of Address process. Third-party sites offering a printable 3575 PDF are a known scam pattern.
Do I need to change my address with the DMV separately?
Yes. Driver’s license and vehicle registration updates go through your state DMV, and many states set deadlines of 10 to 30 days after a move. USPS forwarding and IRS Form 8822 do not update DMV records.
Who should I notify when I move?
Start with USPS mail forwarding, then update senders directly: the IRS (Form 8822 or Form 8822-B), your state DMV, voter registration, Social Security or Medicare if you receive benefits, plus banks, insurers, employers, and subscriptions. Forwarding is temporary, so each sender eventually needs your new address.
