Is It Against The Law To Move My Mailbox?

[adusa37]

You must go down to your local post office and talk with the stationmaster. They will most likely have no problem with you moving the mailbox but must be warned beforehand to avoid any confusion. Some things to keep in mind when moving a mailbox are Make sure that nothing is blocking access to the mailbox. A curbside mailbox must be placed so that the post man has access to it without leaving his/her vehicle. I hope this helps :-)

I moved mine last year.  My mailbox was right in the middle or out U-shaped driveway.  We wanted it across from one of the entrances.  It was simple.  I went to the Post Office and asked for permission.  I was ready with pictures and a detailed explanation, and all the PostMaster told me was to make sure I didn't block any fire hydrants or driveways and, if possible, put the mailbox with others on the road(it wasn't possible).  I didn't need anything else. Your local postmaster may be different, but that is who you start with.
