NCOALink - Move Update Compliance

When you use our NCOALink (FSP) Services, you'll notice an instant boost in data hygiene and the deliverability of your mail. That's because NCOALink investigates your mailing lists for the individuals, families and businesses that have moved and filed a Change of Address notice with the U.S. Postal Service in the last four years. Don't mail to a previous address when you can get the new one quickly and easily.

As of Nov. 23, 2008 the minimum frequency for Move Update processing will be 95 days instead of 185 days. This requirement applies to all Standard Mail; letters, postcards, flats, and parcels, along with automation-rate and presortrate First-Class Mail. NCOALink processing is the most cost effective way to meet the USPS® Move Update requirement.

The change in frequency for Move Update processing is part of Postmaster General John Potter's attempt to reduce UAA (Undeliverable As Addressed) mail 50% by 2010. Mailers who don't comply with the new regulations might see fines, which could more than double their postage.
