On December 24, 2025, the U.S. Postal Service implemented new procedures for dating mail. As of that date and going forward, the Post Office will postmark letters and packages with the date they are processed at the postal facility rather than the date that they are dropped off in the mailbox as was the case in the past.
This shift in procedure could affect whether time-sensitive mail is considered to be on time.
Commentators have recommended that, if your mail is time-sensitive in this regard, you should walk the mail into the post office and request a manual postmark to ensure that the postmark date matches the day you mailed the item. You can also request a certificate of mailing.
