If entitled:
- Edit a Mailing or Legal Address
- Add a Seasonal Address
- Edit a Seasonal Address
- Delete a Seasonal Address
An account can maintain separate mailing, legal, and seasonal addresses at the account level, in addition to mailing and legal addresses for each account holder.
When multiple holders are on the account, you can enter changes to an account-level address and then choose whether to apply the same changes to other addresses for the account or account holders, if entitled. Note that this feature does not apply to seasonal addresses or trusted contact addresses.
Address Standardization
Address standardization obtains the most accurate address on record from the United States Postal Service (USPS). Standardized addresses are eligible for reduced postage rates.
The address standardization process reviews each address change and recommends a standardized address as defined by the USPS; for example, if you enter an address with the word Street, the address standardization process recommends that you change it to ST. The standardization process also assigns the correct ZIP + 4 code.
The process standardizes the following domestic, military, and U.S. territory addresses:
- Account mailing
- Account legal
- Account seasonal
- Account holder mailing
- Account holder legal
- Trusted contact legal
The process does not standardize DVP/RVP addresses, international addresses, or addresses for authorized traders, interested parties, or beneficiaries.
Note
The address standardization process attempts to concatenate the lines of an address onto one line; for example, the street and apartment. If the length of the concatenated lines exceeds 30 characters, the address is not standardized.
On the Edit Address window, enter changes on the left side of the window. When applicable, the right side lists each account holder and check boxes that enable you to select where to apply the changes.
To edit a mailing or legal address
In the section with the address, select Edit.
Select Edit Address below the Legal Address or Mailing Address labels.
Enter changes in the address fields on the left side of the window.
- If edits only apply to one address, skip to step 5.
Choose the Select All link to apply changes to all listed addresses.
or
Choose just the Legal Address or Mailing Address check boxes that apply.
Select Save & Continue Editing.
If address standardization recommends changes to the address, the Standardized Address window opens. The standardized portions of the address are highlighted.
If the only change needed to standardize the address is to add the ZIP + 4 code, you are not prompted to accept the change. The address standardization automatically adds the ZIP + 4 code and the Standardized Address window does not open.
If address standardization does not recognize the address, there is no recommendation and, if entitled, you will be prompted to save and continue with the entered address.
To accept the standardized address, select Standardized Address.
or
To reject the standardized address, select Original Address.
Note
If you are not entitled to select the original address, you must select the standardized address or return to the Edit Address window.

Add a seasonal address and specify a date range for when mail should be delivered to that address. Outside of that date range, mail is delivered to the normal mailing address instead. An Active Now label displays next to the mailing or seasonal address that is currently active.
Mail will start or stop being sent to the seasonal address on the first business day that follows the specified start or end date, respectively. For start or end dates that fall on a weekend or U.S. holiday, mailing changes occur on the day after the next business day. Since mail can take a few days to arrive, consider entering start and end dates that are a few days before the first and last dates spent at the seasonal address.
If you do not specify a date range for mail delivery, the seasonal address remains inactive until you do. (Edit a Seasonal Address)

Residing at a seasonal address for more than 180 days in a calendar year may have tax implications. Check applicable state tax laws for additional information.
