Redirect my personal mail

You should use this service to tell the Post Office that you would like to change the address that your mail gets delivered to. You must complete one redirection notice per household.

Who can use this service

If you are an adult (18 years old or over), you can complete a redirection form to redirect mail addressed to you. You should also use this service to redirect the post of your dependants.

Dependants are:

• children under 18
• vulnerable relatives (those with physical or mental infirmity or care needs)

A common use case is if you and your family are moving house.

A redirection notice will last for 6 months.

There are separate forms if you would like to:

• redirect your business mail

Everyone who is 18 years old and over who wants to redirect their personal mail must visit any Post Office, in person, to:

1. Sign the form.
2. Verify their identity with their National ID card.

The Barbados Postal Service will begin to deliver your mail to your new address from the start date you gave on the form.

Your redirection notice will last for a maximum of 6 months. After the notice has expired, all mail will be delivered to the address it has on it. Therefore, you should update the relevant people and businesses on your new address.
