A "company indicia" (second example of each pair above), substitutes our company name in place of the permit number, city and state. When using a company indicia, you must place your return address in the upper left hand corner of the address block.


Ancillary Service Endorsements
Undeliverable-as-addressed (UAA) mail is forwarded, returned to sender, or treated as dead mail as authorized for the particular mail class. A mailer endorsement is used to instruct the Postal Service® regarding the mailpiece's appropriate disposition upon determining that it is UAA. On First-Class Mail®, the following endorsements may be used as an updating method to meet the move update standard:
Return Service Requested. If UAA, the mailpiece is returned with the new address or reason for nondelivery; no charge.
Temporary Return Service Requested. If UAA and a temporary change-of-address has been filed, the mailpiece is forwarded at no charge. No separate notice of anew temporary change-of-address is provided.
Address Service Requested.

  • Months 1 - 12: the mailpiece is forwarded; no charge; a separate notice of the new address is provided; an address correction fee is charged.
  • Months 13 - 18: the mailpiece is returned with the new address attached; no charge.
  • After month 18 or if undeliverable: the mailpiece is returned with reason for nondelivery attached; no charge.

Change Service Requested. Separate notice of new address or reason for nondelivery provided; in either case, address-correction fee is charged; mailpiece is not forwarded or returned but disposed of by the Postal Service. This endorsement option is available for First-Class Mail only when used in conjunction with electronic Address Change Service [ACS][1].
Ancillary service endorsements allow the sender to obtain on request (provided the appropriate endorsement is used) the addressee's new (forwarding) address (if the addressee filed a Change-of-Address Order with the Postal Service) or the reason for nondelivery. These endorsements also provide the Postal Service with instructions for the disposition of UAA mail. These new endorsements provide a simpler and more consistent system than the previous endorsements.
Optional Ancillary Service Endorsement Locations
In addition to the current location under the return address (1), ancillary service endorsements may be placed above the delivery address block (2), to the left of the postage area (3), or below the postage area (4) (postage stamps, meter stamps, or permit imprints). See DMM M012.4.3 for more information.
