Before you can start forwarding your mail via USPS, you will need to choose any of the three primary forms:
Individual: This form only provides coverage for an individual who is relocating from his present location to a new location or many people who are relocating but to different places. So you and your roommate are required to fill separate forms.
However, if you and your roommate share the same last name, you should fill out a single form. If you and your roommate that shares your last name are moving to separate locations, then it is important for both of you to fill out two separate individual COA form.
Family: A family change of address form is to be filled by a family that shares a similar last name and relocating to the same location. This will enable everyone to receive their mail through the local post office easily.
Business: Businesses also provide their own forms for change of address. If you are a staff of a certain company and you have the right authorization and permission of the company to forward their mail, you can fill a business Change of Address form to change the entire organization’s address.
