How can I keep my home address private?

If you do not wish for your home address to be publicly available, you can take the following steps: 


  • Only provide your home address when you really really have to. 
  • Open a P.O. Box with USPS to have all of your mail delivered to this box. To do so, click here. 
  • Create a list of organizations that have your home address. Submit your P.O. Box info to these organizations, and ask them to delete your previous address from their systems. 
  • Ask USPS to re-direct any mail to your new P.O. Box. To do so, click here. 
  • Remove your information from direct mailing lists. Click here.

    Unfortunately, you will be asked to provide your Social Security Number (SSN) when submitting a request to opt-out of direct mailing lists. This is only asked for verification purposes. As a general rule though, you should try not to provide your SSN to any external parties.


Also this: 

  • Unless you are moving to a new house, it will be difficult, if not impossible, to truly have your home address be private.  
  • Note that online entities can also get access to your home address. To prevent this, you can disable your location services on your phone here, and on your desktop/laptop here.
