Set up mail and parcel mail forwarding order online.

You can conveniently set up mail forwarding order online via Nachsendeauftrag.jetzt as a service provider. The easiest way is to place your order online via Nachsendeauftrag.jetzt . There, you will be guided through the process step by step: old address, new address , desired start date, duration, and the persons affected.

In practice, the online option is usually not only faster, but often also cheaper than booking at a branch. Furthermore, you generally receive prompt confirmation and can double-check your details. This is particularly helpful for time-sensitive moves, as you have immediate confirmation that the order has been successfully completed.

The costs depend on the service package selected from Nachsendeauftrag.jetzt . As an external service provider, the portal may charge additional fees beyond the standard postage rate for convenience services, guided data entry, or forwarding to multiple delivery services. Such added value can be particularly attractive if, in addition to the standard mail forwarding you also require assistance with address changes for banks, insurance companies, or other delivery services.

The contract duration depends on the chosen product. For a standard move, it is often 6 months, though 12 months are sometimes offered. Shorter periods are possible for temporary absences, for example, starting from 14 days.

A longer contract term is particularly useful if you know that many of your contractual partners are slow to update your address or if you have numerous ongoing contracts. In practice, it turns out that even months after moving, some letters are still sent to the old address. Insurance companies, clubs, doctors' offices, and smaller service providers, in particular, sometimes work with outdated contact information.

For families, self-employed individuals, or people with many contracts, the 12-month option is often the less stressful choice. It reduces the risk of important mail still ending up at the old address after the service expires.

The costs depend on the duration, booking channel and additional options and are determined during setup.

When you compare the costs with the potential consequences of lost mail – such as reminders, missed deadlines, or lost contract documents – the price is usually a worthwhile investment. Even a single missed official letter can end up costing more than the entire service.

Ideally, at least 5 working days before the move. Even better is to set up the order 2 to 3 weeks in advance. This will prevent gaps in the delivery of important mail.

Submitting an application early has the advantage that you can identify input errors in time. Typos are particularly common in names, house numbers, or the desired start date. If this information is not exactly correct, the automatic allocation may fail.

My practical tip: Create the mail forwarding order as soon as your moving date is set. This way, this topic will be one of the items you've already completed in your moving plan.

Addressed mail items are primarily forwarded. These include standard letters, large letters, maxi registered mail , and other suitable mail products.

Not every type of mail is automatically included. Some packages, press mailings, or items marked "Do not forward" are excluded. Letters addressed to individuals not listed in the order are also problematic.

Therefore, it is important to correctly list all household members and simultaneously inform important authorities directly.

Depending on the booking status, changes may be possible. It is important to correct any errors in names, house numbers, or start dates as early as possible.

In practice, you should check the confirmation email or receipt immediately. The sooner errors are detected, the easier they are to correct. If you need to renew, it's advisable to follow up a few weeks before the expiration date. Cancellations are generally only possible before the scheduled start date. Once the service is active, changes or cancellations can become significantly more difficult.

Yes, but only for the persons explicitly named in the order . Therefore, all family members should be fully listed – including children, partners, or roommates.

This is particularly important in family households, as school mail, club letters, doctor's appointments or contract documents would otherwise not be reliably forwarded.

You cannot select specific sender . Exclusion is only possible via special instructions from the sender.

This means that if, for example, a bank or authority explicitly stipulates that a postal item may not be forwarded, this stipulation takes precedence. In such cases, the letter will either be returned or handled differently.

Yes, international mail forwarding is generally possible. However, delivery times, delivery schedules, and costs may vary. For international moves, it is recommended to update your address with all relevant parties well in advance.

For international moves, the mail forwarding order is particularly useful as a temporary solution, since international mail can take significantly longer to arrive. For this very reason, banks, insurance companies, tax advisors, employers, and authorities should also be actively informed.
