Set the start date and confirm whether you need temporary or permanent forwarding.
Submit the request and save the confirmation number or receipt.
Allow processing time and confirm forwarding/update completion if a confirmation is provided.

Monitor for any missed mail during the transition period and contact customer support if issues occur.
