NCOA-National Change of Address:
†National Change Of Address (NCOA) NCOA is a database maintained by the U.S. Postal Service of all individuals and companies who completed a Change of Address form in the previous four years. By sending your database to be NCOA processed, it will be updated with the most current address information. In fact, the average database is improved by 5% using this convenient service. The cost of using NCOA is minimal and a speedy turnaround time means it will never delay your mailing.
†Running the mail list/s through the National Change of Address (NCOA) database is the method Minuteman Press uses to ensure the presorted mailing meets the USPS Move Update Requirements.
†Effective 11/23/08, postal rules require all addresses in a presorted mailing to be move update processed within 95 days before a mailing. The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is requiring this in order to reduce expenses from extra handling. National Change of Address (NCOA) is just one of the approved methods for meeting the move update requirements.
