How do you change your address if you have multiple "aliases"? (new address, home)

[TDE]

Since I'm moving, I need to get my current mail forwarded to the new address...

The problem is, I have five different names I receive mail under

1. My Name (I have a hyphenated last name)
2. My name with only the first half of last name
3. Correct last name, mispelled 1st name
4. My nickname
5. My Small Business's Name

I got a Change of Address kit from the Post Office. Do I need to get 4 more kits, or can I list all these names on the the same kit?

And just curious...whats to stop some random person from filling out one of these Kits themselves, and hi-jacking your mail? From what I see there's no security questions or anything to really "prove" your identity...

There's a box you can tick for "Entire Family". You'll have to fill out a second one for your business.

USPS web site says "If you are the owner of a home business and receive mail addressed to your business as well as to individuals at your residence, to have your mail forwarded correctly when you move, you will need to file one COA in your business name and one COA for each individual, or for your family. This is because it is possible for a family to stay at one address while the business moves, or vice versa."

As for random people filling these out, nothing to stop them except "The person who prepares this form states that he or she is the person, executor, guardian, authorized officer, or agent of the person for whom mail would be forwarded under this order. Anyone submitting false or inaccurate information on this form is subject to punishment by fine or imprisonment or both under Sections 2, 1001, 1702 and 1708 of Title 18, United States Code."

When you fill one of those out, you get a letter to each address (old and new) advising you of the change of address. So if someone else filled one out in your name, you would know about it within a few days or so.
You can do it online at usps.com but they charge $1 to your credit card.

If some of these are magazines, or even your address on the top part of a bill, cut out your mailing lable and glue it on the change of address card. that has the name they know you by and your account number.
