Give your mail a moving plan

A change of address for your letters deserves its own place on the moving list. Japan Post’s free forwarding lasts for one year, measured from the day you file the relocation notice. A later requested start date doesn’t reset that clock. You can apply at a post-office counter or use e転居 with an identity-verified ゆうID. Allow 3–7 business days for registration, then keep the confirmation while you update each sender’s address records. Mail labelled 転送不要 will not be rerouted; once the forwarding year expires, old-address mail is returned to the sender.
