For the purposes of this standard, “address” means a specific address associated with a specific occupant name. Addresses subject to the Move Update standard must meet these requirements: a. Each address and associated occupant name used on the mailpieces in a mailing must be updated within 95 days before the mailing date, with one of the USPS-approved methods in 3.9.2. b. Each individual address in the mailing is subject to the Move Update standard. c. The Move Update standard is met when an address used on a mailpiece in a mailing for any class of mail is updated with an approved method in 3.9.2, and the same address is used in a Standard Mail mailing within 95 days after the address has been updated. d. Except for mail bearing an alternative address format, addresses used on pieces claiming Standard Mail rates, regardless of any required surcharge, must meet the Move Update standard. 3.9.2 USPS-Approved Methods The following methods are authorized for meeting the Move Update standard: a. Address Change Service (ACS). b. National Change of Address Linkage System (NCOALink ). c.
