A Change of Address Form is a document that is used to inform an organization or institution that an individual or family has changed their mailing address. There are two types of Change of Address Forms: a permanent change of address form and a temporary change of address form. A permanent change of address form is used when an individual or family is moving to a new residence and wants to update their address with all affected organizations. This form requires the individual or family to provide their current address, the date that the change took effect, and their new address. A temporary change of address form is used when an individual or family is moving on a temporary basis and wants to maintain their original address while away from home. This form requires the individual or family to provide their original address, the date that the change took effect, and the duration of the change. Both forms require the individual or family to sign and date the form to confirm the change.
