Going Away for Yom Tov? Place Your Mail on Hold (No Cost)

Mar 22, 2026·1 min read

If you’re leaving town for Yom Tov, you may want to have your mail placed on hold while you’re away – for both safety and convenience. 

The USPS offers this service free from 3-30 days.

You can sign up here until 2:00 a.m on the day you wish to start.

NOTE: When a hold is placed on your mail, it gets placed on the entire address, so if you’re a landlord or a tenant, be sure you both want your mail held.
