1. Well, they are the Postal service. Its in their best interest to require you to post them a form

2. To be fair, I did this only a few weeks ago and they do get it out to you super fast. Just be aware that NOT ALL OF YOUR POST gets redirected! I’ve already logged a complaint, we’re still in our old premises as our move date got pushed back.

   We’re still getting post sent here rather than the new address, my argument is I paid for ALL post to be redirected, so why the hell, almost 2 weeks later, is post being sent to our old address, regardless if we’re still here or not?

3. They need a wet ink signature from everyone whose post will be forwarded, and they also need to verify that you are actually the person at that address, otherwise any random person could sign up to have *your* mail redirected to god knows where.

4. I did this and none of my post was redirected. At the end of the six months I had a notification that they were ending the redirection of post from my old address to my old address. Yeah. Thanks.

5. I think it’s for authentication purposes
