As a mail carrier…
Clean your route (vacant, duplicate, known past residents, deceased, invalid address, etc.)…
- If the mailer is for a known past resident (including ECRWSS/ECRWSH and/or “current resident”) - be sure to MLNA this past resident name variation. This will update NCOA (National change of address) database and the mailers for this name variation will decrease - including non-first class mail, or current resident mail, etc.
https://link.usps.com/2021/06/02/mdd-update/
Unsure of current resident - place VACANT card in mailbox and MLNA any name not listed.
NOTE: I also search address in website truepeoplesearch - select each name variation - if name has said address as current address and they aren’t the current resident I MLNA that name variation.
You can also search address in Melissa Data (lookups/personator) - if name listed isn’t current resident - MLNA. Continue to MLNA name variations until the current resident appears. This website gets updates from USPS on a regular basis.
- Vacant boxes - if the address is officially marked vacant/no mail delivery in USPS system it ceases ALL mail including ADVO.
How to check if address is marked vacant/no mail delivery in USPS system - search address in website Melissa Data (lookups/personator). Also, if the name listed doesn’t match the current resident - MLNA this name variation.

Step one…(reducing unwanted USPS mail)
Register your address with USPS informed delivery - this service emails you daily the USPS mail/packages to be delivered (including past resident mail). I use this service to help aid me in an emailed removal request to each unwanted sender.
Google the return address - normally a companies email is found in their privacy policy. If unable to locate an email - use their websites “contact us”, “feedback”, “live agent” options.
“Please remove my name/address from your USPS mailing/marketing list.
(Name address as appears on mailer)
See attached mailer as reference.” (Use informed delivery image)
Past resident non-first class mail (aka junk mail) - “I am receiving past resident mail and I would like this to STOP! Please remove this individual from your USPS mailing/marketing list.”
NOTE: If the mailer has the wording “or current resident” - guess what - you ARE the current resident. This is just a marketing tactic - always a current resident - the sender doesn’t have to update their mailing list. If you don’t want this mailer - remove the name/address from the senders mailing list. When you remove one name be prepared to receive the same mailer in another past resident name. Just keep removing names until the mailer stops. My record is 15 names!
NOTE: If the mailer has a prepaid postage envelope - return these while waiting for removal request to take affect. Be sure to attach the address portion of the mailer and write “remove from mailing list”. Support the USPS!
NOTE: If receiving preapproved credit card offers for past residents - sign they haven’t updated their address on their credit reports (Experian, Equifax, TransUnion & Innovis). To stop these offers register them with opt out prescreen - https://www.optoutprescreen.com/ - do NOT include their SSN (of course) - DO include their middle name & DOB. This info is found in websites like truepeoplesearch, nuwber, mylife.
NOTE: If receiving political mailers for past residents - sign they haven’t updated their voter registration. Contact your local election board - https://www.usa.gov/election-office and update this info - be sure that USPS forms 3575Z/MLNA are active. If the election board physically mails this individual something they will get message - “moved left no forwarding address”.
See step seven for more tips on political mailers.
To check to see if your address/phone number is attached to someone else’s voter registration - search info in voterrecords.com. Not all states are listed.
NOTE: If the mailer has a postage paid envelope - return these while waiting for removal request to take affect. Be sure to include the address portion of the mailer and write “remove from mailing list”. Support the USPS!
Here is a list of common USPS junk/marketing mailers with easy opt outs - updated list under username - don’t forget to opt out past residents - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VGd4iEy9jTsDbDcTj6EGcje-CkqoIeRCowXNhY2hmtk/edit?usp=drivesdk
