Effective November 23, 2008 the Postal Service® increased its effort to improve the percentage of deliverable mail by revising the Move Update standards. The Move Update standards provide ways for mailers to reduce the number of mailpieces that require forwarding or return by the periodic matching of a mailer’s address records with customer-filed change-of-address orders

Mailers who plan to claim discounted First-Class Mail and Standard Mail prices must meet one of the following Move Update standard for updating their address files:

Primary Move Update Methods:  

• Ancillary Service Endorsement 
• OneCode ACS^®/ACS™
• NCOA^Link® 
• FASTforward^®
  

Alternative Move Update Methods:

• Legal Restraint
• 99 Percent Accurate

Note: Alternative Move Update methods apply to First-Class Mail only.
