Redirection and Holding

Planning to move? Going away for a while?

Why not use the La Poste online redirection service! In just a few clicks, you can subscribe online to our mail redirection service, or ask your local post office to hold your mail for you.

Temporary or permanent international redirection ("réexpédition temporaire ou définitive internationale") means you can have your mail forwarded to you from France to wherever you are abroad, either temporarily or definitively.
La Poste will forward all of your postal items to you at your new address (up to 2 kg).

Permanent national redirection ("réexpédition définitive nationale") means that all the mail sent to you at your old address will be forwarded to your new address.

The mail holding service ("garde du courrier") means that all the mail sent to you while you are away (from just a few days up to 2 months) will be held for you by La Poste.

Please find below screen-by-screen translations of the steps to follow on the French site.
