Mail forwarding only lasts for one year after you’ve relocated, so it’s important to have your address updated quickly to ensure that you aren’t missing important documents. Take some time to visit the post office closest to your new home and follow their process of changing your address.
After dropping into the post office, swing past the Motor Vehicle Commission to change the address on your driver’s license and car registration. This should be done within 60 days of moving to New Jersey, or seven days if you’re just relocating within the state.
