NZ Post Address and Mail Redirection: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to redirect your mail when moving home or business to ensure your important documents always reach you at your new address.
This service helps you forward your mail from an old address to a new one so you do not miss important correspondence.
Who it's for
This service is available to anyone who is relocating. It is designed for both residential moves and business address changes. If you are moving your home or relocating your business premises, you can use this service to manage your incoming mail.
What you get
The primary benefit is the assurance that your mail reaches you at your new location. By setting up a redirection, the postal service handles the process of forwarding your letters and documents from your previous address to your new one, helping you stay up to date with important communications.
What it costs you
Using this service requires payment of an annual fee. You will need to pay for the service to ensure your mail is redirected over the course of the year.
The catch to know
The most important thing to remember is that this service only lasts for a set period of time. It is not a permanent solution for your mail delivery. Because the redirection has an end date, you must take the responsibility to manually update your address everywhere—with banks, government agencies, utility companies, and personal contacts—to ensure no mail is lost once the service period expires.
How to apply
- Visit the official NZ Post website to find the redirection service.
- Provide your current old address and your new destination address.
- Complete the necessary details to set up the forwarding.
- Pay the required fee to activate the service.
