USPS ANK: What This Means For Your Mail

Within the USPS system, there are a variety of acronyms regarding the sending and receiving of mail.

One of the secret acronyms is ANK. If you’ve ever seen this before on your returned mail, you’re probably wondering what this means.

In USPS lingo, ANK means “Address Not Known.”

The main reason why ANK is triggered is because the person is no longer living at that address.

To avoid ANK, it is important to have your address updated if you move.

To do this, set up mail forwarding either on the USPS website or in person.
