There are two ways to begin receiving mail to your new Earth Class Mail, a LegalZoom company address: file a change of address with the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) or directly notify individual senders.
**Note completing the USPS 1583 Form, which is required, will not forward mail to your new address.
Completing a Change of Address with USPS:
To have all mail forwarded to your new address, you can complete a Change of Address with USPS online. When filling out a Change of Address with USPS, there are two options: Temporary or Permanent. Find out more here.
You may also request a USPS Mover's Guide packet available at all U.S. post offices. This packet will include a USPS From 3575 (not USPS 1583 Form, which we require) that can be completed and submitted at your local U.S. post office. To ensure delivery, it is important to complete your change of address form accurately and completely.
How to format your new address when filling out a Change of Address (COA) Form:
When completing a COA form, your Earth Class Mail, a LegalZoom company number should appear on the same line as the street address or P.O. Box, preceded by the letters PMB (with no symbols). PMB stands for Private Mail Box, which is the postal service's designation for our accounts.
Example: you subscribe to the Portland P.O. Box, and your Earth Class Mail, a LegalZoom company PMB number is 12345:
P.O. Box 4120 PMB 12345
Portland, OR 97208-4120
If you choose an address with an existing suite number such as our address at 177 Huntington Ave Ste 1703, and your Earth Class Mail, a LegalZoom company PMB number is 12345, you would want to list the address as:
177 Huntington Ave Ste 1703 PMB 12345
Boston, Massachusetts 02115-3153
Note in both address examples the use of "PMB" and not "ECM #", "Suite #", or any other symbols.
🙌Please note: You must use “PMB” followed by your ECM number when formatting your address on the USPS mail forwarding form, but when sharing your address directly with others, you may substitute PMB with “#” if you prefer.
Do not list the Earth Class Mail number to the left of your P.O. Box or street address number, or your mail may be misdirected.
It can take the postal service up to 10 business days to process a change of address. There will be a delay before you begin to see the mail in your Earth Class Mail, a LegalZoom Company account.
Remember, if you're outside of the U.S. or otherwise unable to visit a U.S. post office, you can use the official USPS Change of Address online.
Notify Senders Directly:
You can control where your mail goes by notifying specific senders of your new address. This gives you the flexibility to continue receiving personal packages directly at your home or office.
Follow these simple steps from your Earth Class Mail, a LegalZoom company portal to share your new address with senders via email.
