How do you put a hold on your mail?

To put a hold on your mail, you can visit the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) website and use their online form to request a mail hold. Alternatively, you can visit your local post office and fill out a PS Form 8076, the "Authorization to Hold Mail." You can request a hold for a minimum of 1 day and up to 30 days. Make sure to submit your request at least one day in advance of your desired start date.
