What has Changed with Move Update?
The Postal Service™ has moved to a Census-based Move Update to replace the existing method, MERLIN® sampling. The current method works by running a sample of your mailing through a USPS® MERLIN machine and identifying any issues prior to accepting the mailing. This allows you to fix any identified issues before your mail is processed. With the new Census method, your level of compliance will be checked as your mail is being processed. This will put you at risk of being out of compliance, and with that comes the threat of possible fines.
Requirements for Move Update
Applies to all Standard Mail® and Discounted First-Class Mail®; excludes Periodicals and Bound Printed Matter. Once the eDoc Submitter is considered a Full-Service mailer by the Postal Service, all eligible mail is subject to the new Move Update method.
Each mailing address used on mailpieces must be updated within a window of 95 days before the mailing date using one of the USPS-approved methods.
