Dealing with the United States Postal Service can be difficult and inconsistent. That's why we've created these guides to help you apply for Non-profit mailing privileges or update your information. Keep in mind that USPS may require additional documents, and we'll update the guides as needed.

This guide is for those with existing USPS mailing privileges who need to make changes.

Changing your nonprofit information can be done through the USPS Business Gateway or at your local post office. Click here to access the digital Form 6015.
