NEW ADDRESS REQUIREMENTS
Do The New Address Standards Apply To Inserts?
Yes. If you place the delivery address on a loose enclosure polybagged with the
host piece, at least the first half-inch of the address must stay within the top half
of the mailpiece during processing and delivery. The “first half-inch” means the
beginning 0.5 inch of the recipient, delivery address, and city/state/ZIP Code lines,
and not the end of each line. If the insert is affixed to the host piece, it must be
affixed to maintain the address entirely within the top half during processing and
delivery.
When Do These Changes Take Effect?
Mailings must comply no later than March 29, 2009.
Why Are These Changes Needed?
Clear, legible addresses ensure accurate sorting, redirection, and delivery;
enable high-speed processing; and minimize service delays. Consistent address
placement is needed to take advantage of new flats processing technology and will
significantly increase efficiency, which helps keep postage prices affordable.
What Happens If My Mail Doesn’t Comply?
Your mail must meet the published standards to qualify for Periodicals prices, including the new address requirements. If
the standards are not met, you may pay additional postage or correct and re-enter your mail.
Where Can I Find More Information?
You can access the May 7 Federal Register notice on Postal Explorer at pe.usps.com. Click on “Federal Register” in the
left frame, and scroll down to the entry titled, “New Address Requirements for Automation, Presorted, and Carrier Route
Flat-Size Mail.”
If you have questions about a particular mailpiece, your local Mailpiece Design Analyst can help. To find an Analyst,
enter your ZIP Code in the lookup tool on Postal Explorer (click on “Postal Locator” in the left frame, then “Mailpiece
Design Analyst”).
The Domestic Mail Manual also is available on Postal Explorer and provides all of the mailing standards and pricing
options for Periodicals flats. We will add the new address requirements to Domestic Mail Manual chapters 302 and 707
when they take effect in March 2009.
