Change Of Address And United States Postal Service
Those found guilty of providing incorrect and erroneous data could be penalized with a fine or jail term or both. The rules are very strict because any change recorded will be effected simultaneously in all related areas. It is not just a simple message to the office of the Postal Service requesting for all letters to be forwarded to the new address. This rule is meant to be rigorously followed in the U.S. and there is nothing discretionary about it. It is a mandatory procedure like voting for the candidate in the election.
A citizen has two choices - either he could correspond directly with the United States Postal Service, or he could utilize the services of the appropriate agencies to redirect the instruction and request of change of address to the Postal Service.
